Archimedes Principle Set
Product Code : JL-LEP-10402
The Archimedes Principle Set (SKU JL-LEP-10402) visually demonstrates that an immersed object displaces liquid equal to its volume and that its apparent loss of weight equals the weight of the liquid displaced. This archimedes principle set combines a matched bucket and plummet, an overflow can, a catch bucket and a large 2 N demonstration dynamometer. JaincoLab manufactures it in India for school and college physics.
Specifications
The set has a transparent ABS bucket (55.01–55.02 mm inside diameter, 53 mm deep) and a white plummet that fits it exactly (54.99–55.00 mm by 53 mm), both with volume-level divisions, a 3 × 5 in seamless overflow can with spout, a 3 × 3 in catch bucket and a 2 N spring dynamometer reading to 0.1 N.

Applications of the Archimedes principle set
The plummet is weighed in air and then in water, the displaced water is collected from the overflow can, and pouring it into the bucket shows that it exactly fills the volume of the plummet and restores the original reading.
- Showing that the upthrust on an immersed plummet equals the weight of water displaced
- Demonstrating that the displaced volume equals the volume of the plummet using the matched bucket
- Measuring apparent loss of weight with the 2 N dynamometer
- Comparing upthrust in water and in other liquids
- Buoyancy and flotation lessons in secondary physics
