Saccharometer
Alcoholometers

28
Q

Lactometer work on the principle of

A

Gravity of milk

29
Q

The pressure is more on the bottom less are the top of the liquid. This pressure difference causes a force on the object and pushes it upward. This course is called______&. Phenomenon is called_______

A

Buoyant force
Buoyancy

30
Q

Saltwater provides more Buoyant force than freshwater

A

Buoyant Force depends as much on the density of liquid as on the volume displaced

31

33
Q

Archimedes devised principles of the________ after he noticed his own apparent loss in weight while sitting in his bath

A

Hydrostatic balance

34
Q

Archimedes principle

A

State the body immersed in a fluid experiences vertical upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces

35
Q

The correct lactometer reading is obtained only at the temperature of

A

60°F

36
Q

Law of flotation

A

The weight of your floating body in a fluid is equal to weight of the fluid displaced by the body
The centre of gravity of the floating body and the centre of buoyancy are in the same vertical line

37
Q

Flotation therapy uses water that contain Epson salt rich in

A

Magnesium
As a floater glasses relaxes he or she is obsorbing this magnesium through the skin. Magnesium body to process insulin which lower a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes
