Fluids move in rigid‐body motion only when restrained by confining walls. In rigid‐body motion, all particles are in combined translation and rotation, and there is no relative motion between particles. The force balance equation becomes: where a is the acceleration.

A Cartesian diver is a small, sealed container that is partially filled with air and placed in a larger container of water. When you apply pressure to the container, the Cartesian diver sinks, and when pressure is released, it rises. The experiment demonstrates the relationship between volume, pressure, and buoyancy, and it is a practical applicati...
The Cartesian diver or Cartesian devil experiment got its name from René Descartes. Descartes may have invented the toy in the early 17th century, although Raffaello Magiotti gets credit for the first written description of its principles in his 1648 book Renitenza certissima dell’acqua alla compressione(Very firm resistance of water to compression...
To perform the Cartesian diver experiment, you need the following materials: 1. A 2-liter clear plastic bottle with a cap (a smaller bottle works, but it’s harder finding a small enough diver) 2. A “diver” that just barely floats in water (e.g., ketchup or soy sauce packet, small dropper, or plastic pen cap weighted with a blob of clay) 3. Water 4....
Performing the Cartesian diver experiment is easy: 1. Fill the 2-liter bottle almost to the brim with water. 2. Add the object you are using as your diver. 3. Optional: Add a few drops of food coloring to the water in the bottle for easier observation. 4. Top off the bottle with water so it is completely full and then seal it. 5. Gently squeeze the...
When you squeeze the bottle, the Cartesian diver sinks. When you release the pressure, the diver rises. This is due to the changes in pressure and buoyancy that occur within the system as a result of the applied force.
The Cartesian diver experiment demonstrates two key scientific principles: Boyle’s Law and buoyancy. Boyle’s law is a special case of the ideal gas lawthat states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, provided that the temperature remains constant. When you squeeze the bottle, you increase the pressure on the water and...
The Cartesian diver experiment also illustrates Archimedes’ Principle. Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid equals to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle relates directly to the concept of buoyancy, which plays a crucial role in the Cartesian diver experiment. In th...
You may think a diver of neutral buoyancy (neither floating nor sinking) remains in the middle of the bottle, but this is not the case. If the diver starts out at neutral buoyancy where it displaces exactly the same weight as water, it still rises and sinks in response to the pressure change. This is because neutral buoyancy is an unstable equilibr...

Method 1: Weigh the metal object and then suspend it from the hook on the underside of the balance so that it is submerged in the beaker of water. This second weight, called the ”apparent weight” differs from the first due to the buoyant force.
Archimedes’ principle refers to the force of buoyancy that results when a body is submerged in a fluid, whether partially or wholly. The force that provides the pressure of a fluid acts on a body perpendicular to the surface of the body.
