Plastic Overflow can / Eureka can
Key Properties:
-
Material: Made of plastic for durability and ease of handling.
-
Design: The can has a wide open top and a spout that allows water to overflow when an object is placed inside.
-
Capacity: 100 mL
-
Function: Primarily used to determine volume displacement by measuring the amount of water that overflows when an object is submerged.
Uses:
-
Volume Displacement: Used to measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects by determining how much water overflows when the object is submerged.
-
Archimedes’ Principle: Often employed in demonstrating Archimedes’ Principle, which states that the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object submerged.
-
Science Experiments: Commonly used in elementary and high school science experiments to introduce students to concepts of volume and buoyancy.
