Key Features
- 250 ml glass beaker with an overflow spout.
- 50 ml plastic catch beaker with spout to collect displaced water.
- Newton meter (spring balance) for weighing in air and in water.
- Regular-shaped metal solid as the test specimen.
- Also used for density calculation.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Overflow beaker | 250 ml glass, with overflow spout |
| Catch beaker | 50 ml plastic, with spout |
| Force measurement | Newton meter (spring balance) |
| Test specimen | Regular-shaped metal solid |
| Materials | Glass and high-impact plastic |
How It Is Used
Weigh the metal solid in air on the Newton meter, then lower it into the overflow beaker filled to the spout. The displaced water runs into the catch beaker; comparing the loss of weight with the weight of the water collected confirms Archimedes’ principle, and the readings can also be used to work out density.
