2B30.30 - Magdeburg Hemispheres2b3030magdeburg_hemispheres This demonstration shows the force of atmospheric pressure.
2B30.50 - Lift a Stool2b3050lift_a_stoolWhen you pull on the handle, the volume of the air pocket increases and pressure decreases. The ...
2B40.10/.20 - Archimedes' Principle (Weigh Submerged Block)2b4010archimedes_principle This demonstration illustrates that the boyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the water displaced.
