A device consisting of a thin glass globe immersed in gas relies on this effect to determine the gas's density and is called a dasymeter (da- SIM-i-ter).
A device consisting of a thin glass globe immersed in gas relies on this effect to determine the gas's density and is called a dasymeter (da- SIM-i-ter). Allegedly, a scientist applied the principles of this force to determine the volume of a crown to find out if the crown was pure gold. That man's namesake principle states that the magnitude of this force on an object is equal to the weight of the (*) fluid displaced by that object. Name this force "discovered" by Archimedes, by which the pressure of a fluid opposes an object's weight.
