  2. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    Common demonstrations involve measuring the rise in water level when an object floats on the surface in order to calculate the displaced water. This measurement approach fails with a buoyant submerged object because the rise in the water level is directly related to the volume of the object and not the mass (except if the effective density of ...

  3. Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(fluid)

    The increase in weight is equal to the amount of liquid displaced by the object, which is the same as the volume of the suspended object times the density of the liquid. [1] The concept of Archimedes' principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. [2]

  4. Meniscus (liquid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscus_(liquid)

    A meniscus as seen in a burette of colored water. '20.00 mL' is the correct depth measurement. When reading a depth scale on the side of an instrument filled with liquid, such as a water level device, the meniscus must be taken into account in order to obtain an

  5. Water pouring puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pouring_puzzle

    Water pouring puzzles (also called water jug problems, decanting problems, [1] [2] measuring puzzles, or Die Hard with a Vengeance puzzles) are a class of puzzle involving a finite collection of water jugs of known integer capacities (in terms of a liquid measure such as liters or gallons). Initially each jug contains a known integer volume of ...

  6. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    ρ ref is the known density (mass per unit volume) of the reference liquid (typically water). ρ new is the unknown density of the new (green) liquid. RD new/ref is the relative density of the new liquid with respect to the reference. V is the volume of reference liquid displaced, i.e. the red volume in the diagram. m is the mass of the entire ...

  7. Communicating vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_vessels

    A set of communicating vessels Animation showing the filling of communicating vessels. Communicating vessels or communicating vases [1] are a set of containers containing a homogeneous fluid and connected sufficiently far below the top of the liquid: when the liquid settles, it balances out to the same level in all of the containers regardless of the shape and volume of the containers.

  9. Swelling capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swelling_capacity

    A small amount of superabsorbent polymer material is taken (0.1g) and it is placed in the beaker. 100 ml of deionized water is poured into the beaker. After 20 min the swollen polymer was separated by using [filter paper] By weighing the polymer, one can find the swollen capacity of the SAP material. [3]
