2. Buoyancy is an upward force acting on an object
placed in a fluid.
(don’t worry about this, we will learn more about
it when we get to forces in the physics unit)
3. When an object is immersed in water, it feels
lighter. In a cylinder filled with water, the action
of inserting a mass in the liquid causes it to
displace upward.
4. In 212 B.C., the Greek scientist Archimedes
discovered the following principle: “The buoyant
force acting on an object is equal to the mass of
the displaced fluid.”This became known as:
Archimede's principle.

6. What are the units used for mass?
What are the units used for the volume of a fluid?
(how can you help yourself remember this?)
What are the units used for the volume of a solid?
(how can you help yourself remember this?)
What are the units used for the density of a solid?
What are the units used for the density of a liquid?
8. How do we set up a graph for density?
Let’s do one together!
