Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ...above water. Fig. 99.--Illustrating the Buoyant Effect of Water. EXPERIMENT No. 35 To illustrate the buoyant effect of water. Find about your home an empty tin can with a tight lid. Submerge it partly as in (1) and release it. Does it shoot upward? This buoyant effect of the water is due to the upward pressure of the water. Submerge it entirely as in (2) and (3) and release it. Does it shoot upward? This buoyant effect shows that the upward pressure of the water on the under side of the can is greater than its downward pressure on the top side. Fill the can with water, submerge and release it. Does it sink? Lift the full can under water and out of water. Is it much lighter when under water? It is lighter because the water buoys up part of its weight. THE LAW OF ARCHIMEDES The exact law which applies to the buoyancy of liquids was discovered by a Greek philosopher Archimedes 200 years before the Christian era began. It is called the law of Archimedes and it is as follows: the buoyant force exerted by a liquid on a body immersed in it, is exactly equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. It is also stated more concisely as follows: a body when placed in a liquid appears to lose weight equal to the weight of liquid it displaces. Fig. 100.--The Cup and Cylinder. One Method of Illustrating the Law of Archimedes. Courtesy of The MocMillan Co. The law of Archimedes is illustrated by means of the apparatus shown in Fig. 100. The solid cylinder A is so made that it just fits the cup B, that is, the cylinder has exactly the same volume as the cup. The experiment is as follows: The cylinder A is attached to the bottom of the cup B and both are suspended from one pan of a balance. Weights are added to the other pan until the cup and cylinder are just bal...
