The document outlines an experiment to investigate Archimedes' principle, focusing on how submerged objects displace water and the resulting buoyant force. It includes a step-by-step procedure for measuring the weight of an object in water and the amount of overflowed water. The expected outcome is to demonstrate that the weight of the displaced fluid equals the weight of the submerged object.

Statement of problem:
Mr. Jones noticed while working on the farm that the level of the water in the
pond overflowed after the tractor topple over into it. He wondered how much
water flowed over the and how heavy it was.
Aim: to plan and design a plan to investigate Archimedes principle.
Hypothesis: When an object is submerged in a fluid, then buoyant force acting on
the object will be equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Materials: Water, Measuring glass, scale and object.
Diagram:

Instructions:
Step1: You will gather all the necessary materials.
Step2: You will take the measuring glass and fill it with 1000ml of water.
Step3: Weigh the object and record its weight.
Step4: Place the object in the measuring glass and observe that the water level
moves.
Step5: Place the object with a scale on it in the measuring glass fill with water
and watch that the weight of the object decreases while in water.
Step6: Record the weight of the object on the scale while in the water.
Step7: Take out the object and tilt the measuring glass and place the object until
it meets the bottom of the container.
Step8: Observe that the water overflowed in the container.
Step9: Weigh the overflowed water in a separate container and record it.
Step10: Repeat back the experiment with different object.
Expected result: To measure the upward force of the water and the weigh of the
object.
Expected observation: The water overflow when a heavy object is placed inside
of the of the container with water to know how much weigh the object has in
water.
Discussion: it states that any body completely or partially submerged in fluid
(gas, liquid) at rest is acted upon on upward force, of which is equal to the weight
of the fluid displaced by the body.
Variables-
Controlled: The object weight is fixed by weighing it.
Manipulated: When the object is place in the 1000ml water the water goes up.
Responding: When the object is placed, and the water overflowed when the
object comes out the water the level of the water goes down.
Precautions: When the scale used to weigh the object that is not calibrated
correctly.
Conclusion: As the weight of the object submerged is equivalent to the weight of
fluid displaced by the object.
