Lab Report: Experiment 9 Buoyant Force Purpose Determine the density of an object using the Archimedes’ principle Theory According to Archimedes’ principle, the buoyant force on an obj ect submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This is shown in the equation: Fb= ρfVg The buoyant force can be found by measuring the object’s weight in air (Wa) and its weight in fluid (Wf). If the volume or density of the fluid is known, the density of the object inkg/m3can be determined using the following equation: And density of a fluid can be determined by the equation.
