Fluids for AP Physics 1: buoyant force demonstration and/or lab

Jacobs Physics

Even though I might be doing this demonstration during the new AP Physics 1 fluids unit, it's still a force problem. The buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. Idea 1; It's a cylinder, which has volume equal to the area of the base times the height. Physics works.
