Question

what source of error would cause the upthrust and weight of fluid displaced to to be unequal when conducting the "Archimedes' Principle for a body of fluid" experiment

Answer 1

Answer:

Factors affecting the Upthrust

The magnitude of upthrust on a body due to a liquid depends on: Volume of the body submerged in the liquid (or fluid). Density of the liquid (or fluid) in which the body is submerged.

Magnitude of upthrust = FB = Volume of body submerged in liquid × density of liquid
