Density and the Properties of Fluids

Closeness of a result to an accepted or true value.

The buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid it displaces.

Total mass of an object divided by its total volume, including hollow spaces.

Instrument used to measure mass.

Material or water used to change the mass and stability of a vessel.

tank used by a submarine to control buoyancy

Tendency of an object to float or rise in a fluid due to an upward force.

Upward force exerted by a fluid on an immersed object.

Measure of how easily a substance's volume can be reduced by pressure.

Movement in a fluid driven partly by density differences.
