Buoyancy and Archimedes’ principle simulation
Buoyancy is the upward effect of pressure differences in a fluid. Test how object volume, density, and immersion change the result, then compare with Archimedes’ principle.
Open the interactive physics simulatorConcepts to investigate
- Upthrust
- Displaced fluid
- Apparent weight
- Floating equilibrium
How to use the simulator
- Choose a prepared experiment or create a scene with approved objects.
- Predict what will happen before changing a single variable.
- Run, pause, reset, inspect, and graph supported measurements.
- Compare the result with the model limitations and an independent calculation or practical measurement.
