A metal cylinder measures 3.0 cm in diameter, is 12 cm high, and has a mass of 750g. The cylinder hangs from a string attached to a scale that measures weight in newtons. The cylinder is lowered into a cylindrical beaker of water until it is completely submerged. The diameter of the beaker is 10 cm.

By how much height does the water in the beaker rises up when the cylinder is submerged?

What weight does the scale read after the cylinder is submerged?

<p>A 200-mL beaker that is half-filled with water is on the left pan of balance, and a sufficient amount of sand is placed on the right pan to bring the balance to equilibrium. A cube 4.0cm on an edge that is attached to a string is then lowered into the water until the cube is completely submerged, but not touching the bottom of the beaker. A piece of brass of mass <em>m</em> is then added to the right pan to restore equilibrium. What is <em>m</em>?</p>

Obtain an overflow can with a short metal tubeextendingoutward a bit below the top of the can. Place the overflowcan on alab jack set at its lowest position. Place a plastic beakernext tothe overflow can so that the plastic beaker will catch anywaterthat overflows. Fill the overflow can until waterstartsoverflowing into the plastic beaker, but don’t let toomuchwater overflow. Once water has stopped overflowing carefullyremovethe plastic beaker making sure not to disturb the overflowcan andweigh the plastic beaker. Record the plastic beaker’sweightand then place it back beside the overflow can. (Recordweights asmass times g where mass is measured in kilograms and g =9.8m/s2.)

Mount a scale on top of a small ring stand. You should findacylindrical slot on the underside of the scale. Pick a metalblockof any material and hang it with a string (about 6 to 8incheslong) from the metal support at the bottom of the scale thatisdirectly connected to the scale’s balance pan (the flathorizontalcircular surface where you usually place objects tomeasure theirmass). With the metal block hanging from the scaledetermine themass of the metal block by balancing the scale.

Carefully move the scale so the metal block is directlyoverthe overflow can and very slowly raise the lab jack so thatthemetal block becomes submerged. Water will overflow into theplasticbeaker. Once water has stopped overflowing re-weigh theplasticbeaker. Also, you will notice that the scale is no longerbalanced.Balance the scale to determine the apparent weight of themetalblock. This “weight” is really equal to the actualweight minusthe buoyant force. From the change in weight of theblock calculatethe buoyant force. Also, from the change in weightof the plasticbeaker calculate the weight of the water displaced.Should theseweights be equal? Compare their values by calculatinga percentdifference.
In part I your instructor may have asked you to use agraduatedcylinder instead of the overflow can. Explain themeasurements thatyou made and how those measurements lead you toconclude thatArchimedes’ Principle is correct.

You are hiking through a lush forest with some of your friends when you come to a large river that seems impossible to cross. However, one of your friends notices an old metal barrel sitting on the shore. The barrel is shaped like a cylinder and is 1.20 m high and 0.76 m in diameter. One of the circular ends of the barrel is open and the barrel is empty. When you put the barrel in the water with the open end facing up, you find that the barrel floats with 33% of it under water. You decide that you can use the barrel as a boat to cross the river, as long as you leave about 30 cm sticking above the water. How much extra mass can you put in this barrel to use it as a boat?
