Abstract

This article discusses the importance of density in various fields, such as quality control and medicine. It focuses on an experimental activity for high school and first-year university physics students to determine the density of different liquids using Archimedes' principle. The apparatus required for the experiment is described, and the results show that the values obtained for the density of liquids are close to the accepted values. The article concludes that this experiment is suitable for students to explore data and can be done at home with minimal assistance. [Extracted from the article]
