it is submerged may becalled the effective weight of the body in that fluid. Experiment 1. — Suspend from one arm of a balance beam a cylin-drical bucket A (Fig. 149), and from the bucket a solid cylinder whosevolume is exactly equal to the capacity of the bucket; in other words, thelatter would… … Fig. 149. Place beneath the cylinder a tumbler of water, and raise the tumbleruntil the cylinder is completely submerged. The buoyant force of thewater destroys the equilibrium. Pour waterinto the bucket; when it becomes just evenfull, the equilibrium is restored. Now it is evident that the…
