AI Thread Summary
To design an experiment testing buoyancy for a physics EEI, consider investigating how buoyancy changes with depth and whether it is affected by fluid flow. Archimedes' principle can be a foundational concept, suggesting that buoyant force depends on the displaced fluid's volume. Additionally, exploring Bernoulli's principle could provide insights into lift generation in flowing liquids. A model boat could serve as a practical application for these principles, allowing for hands-on experimentation. Formulating a clear hypothesis based on these principles will guide the investigation effectively.

This if my first post and I think this is the right place to post this, hope so anyway.

Just wondering if you guys had any ideas for a physics experiment relationg to bouyancy. I have to do a EEI (extended experimental investigation) for physics and so far I don't have too many ideas. I can make a model of a boat or something and cut it out using some weird machine but I would have no idea what to test.

Anyway any ideas would be appreciated

How do bouancy depend on depth below the surface?

Does it change if the liquid flows (lift generated?)?
 
Ummm I don't get what you are saying
 
Look up Archimedes principle and Bernoulli's principle...
 
What I am suggesting is to design an experiment to answer the proposed questions. That is the hypothesis you start out with.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
