  • Archimedes_ principle

    C14-3 when a body is completely or partially immersed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force on the body equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body Note that this may generate a torque at the center of gravity of the object being floated.

  • buoyancy

    C14-3 …buoyancy of fluids Buoyancy is the external force that a displaced fluid applies to an object, and is governed by Archimedes’ principle.

  • manometer

    C14-3 Similar to a barometer measures pressure of a container relative to atmospheric pressure Canonical Hub: CANONICAL_INDEX.

  • hydrometer

    C14-3 A vertically floated ruler which uses buoyancy and a known mass to determine the mass density of a fluid. Canonical Hub: CANONICAL_INDEX.
