Instructions and what to hand in - put it all in a Word document with names and email to me. dandrade@bridgeportedu.net 

Lab 20 Density

–three objects on bottom (blue triangle, red/black square, red oval) - calculate density for each

–list which object(s) floated (try all of the objects)

•

•


Lab 23 Pressure in Liquids

–raise and lower manometer (red box with tube) and record depth and hydrostatic pressure

–do for all five liquids (water, ethanol, benzol, tetrochloromethane, and mecury)

–write down your observations of differences or similarities of the pressures at different depths

•

Lab 24 Buoyant Force

–lower the mass into the liquid and note the buoyant force as it is lowered into the liquid. Note how it changes until fully submerged.

–change the preselected values of base area, height and densities (do at least 6 trials)

–write down your observations of the different buoyant forces vs. the area, height and density

•

Lab 25 Ideal Gas Law

try it out and explore concepts 

Go to: http://www.physicslessons.com/qphysics.htm#qpf and answer the three questions
