  • great video nice

  • watahwatahwatahwatahwatah

  • great vid!!!!!!!

  • This physics professor was awesome!

    He explains like my physics professor!

    Isn't it beautiful! I don't care on what you read on the scale but It reads the weight of the object attached to it! Isn't Wonderful! How Beautiful Physics can do! haha!

  • agreed, the amount displaced of water is equal to the weight that the object would push down by itself without submergence by an outside force, if a person pushes the ball under the water they are adding a force

  • @oreganojones you're both wrong. he never claims that the weight of the displaced water is the weight of the object, he said that the weight of the displaced water will weigh the same as the force which the water was pushing up on the object. (ie. the force of buoyancy).

    it just means that in your scenario, they will both displace the same weight of water, but the balloon is much lighter and will float because it has that much force pushing up on it.

  • Ninjajesus happens to be correct. The amount of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object submerged. So if you have a balloon and a steel ball the same volume as the balloon, the same amount of water will be displaced, but it will not be the same weight as either the balloon or the steel ball, because the water doesn't have the same density as either the balloon or the steel ball. He may be einstein's friend, but, by saying that, he showed that he himself is no einstein.

  • dont question the professor,

    his authorty is absolute!!!

  • Ninjajesus81 How absurd to criticize Professor Miller. A man with decades of experience in the study of physics, a student and personal friend of Albert Einstein! - What are your credentials and associations??? Duhhhhh!
