Principle

If the buoyant force on an object is smaller in a liquid than its weight force, then the object sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the weight force, the object swims.

If the buoyant force and weight force are equal, then the object floats in the liquid.

 

Benefits

  • Simple and clear setup
  • Achievement of an elemental learning objective with little effort
