Question

can you detect a cavity inside an ornament using archimidies principle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

we can do so because if there will be cavity in ornament,its density will get reduced therefore due to archemidies principle,the ornament will tend to float on water!

Answer 2

Yes, We can detect a cavity inside an ornament using Archimedes principle.

To calculate the density of the ornament we need to sink the ornament into the water and density is calculated from the volume of water displaced and so its weight. (By Archimedes principle - states that the upward force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.)

now if the density calculated is less than the stated density of the material then there must be a cavity in the ornament.
