SPM Physics: Archimedes Principle

In  form 4 chapters, there are some important physics principle need to be mastered now b4 its too late. In each principle u must understand and able to do the following:
i.state the principle
ii. relate the factors that affect the principle
iii. understand the experiment (if available)
iv. the calculation part (if available)
iv.describe its application

Among those requirement, most students have been focusing too much on doing calculation. Bila jumpa formula jer,  u guys are keen to do exercise on solving the mathematical problems.In the end u 've ignored one of the most important part, i.e its application. Usually the application part will be asked in the paper 2 either section A, B or C. The application part requires u to explain almost everything on how the things work based on relevant physics concept.

As a continuation from our previous discussion regarding hot air balloon, i want u to recall about its famous physics principle i.e Archimedes Principle. Watch this video for a better understanding about it...





If u've gone through the videos or revised this principle through reference books, make sure that u are able to describe the following applications by relating it to Archimedes principle:
1. submarine
2.hydrometer
3.cargo ship
4.hot air ballon
5.plimsol line and others

U may discuss about it with others in the comment section or the chat box. Enjoy your revision :)
