Buoyant Force Demonstration with Steel and Oak Spheres

Discover the fascinating interplay between buoyant force, Newton’s third law, and free body diagrams in this hands-on physics demonstration. We explore how forces interact when a steel or oak sphere displaces water in a beaker on a digital scale. Perfect for physics students seeking to deepen their understanding of buoyancy and force analysis.
