Archimedes' Principle

mass per unit volume

Density is equal to -

m / ( l x w)

Formula for boat depth

mass / volume

Formula for density

length x width x height

Formula for volume of a regular shaped object

mass of the boat divided by its base area

How can you calculate how deep a boat will sink in water?

as liquid density increases, the object floats higher in the liquid

How does increasing the density of a liquid change how far the object sinks into the liquid?

mass, length, width

What do the letters stand for in the depth formula?

the boat will sink

What happens to a boat when its weight is greater than the buoyant force?

The mass of the object equal to the mass of the displaced liquid.

What is the relationship between the mass of the object placed in the liquid and the mass of the displaced liquid?

Buoyant force

an upward force created by the fluid that is displaced by an object.

mass

the amount of matter in an object.

Volume

the amount of space an object occupies or takes up.

Weight

the downward force of gravity on an object.

Archimedes' principle

the physical law that states that an object is pushed upward by a force equal to the weight of fluid it displaces.

Displace

to push out of the way
