Initial Settings for the Physlet: Set to Oscillate, Loose End and Slow Motion
Scenario and Screenshot
1. Turn Off Atmosphere, drop the pressure
gauge at different position in the water
2. Turn Off Atmosphere, compare pressure at
different depth in the liquid as fluid is changed
(gasoline, water, honey)
3. Turn Off Atmosphere, compare pressure at
different depth in the liquid as planet is
changed
Description of Observation
4. Turn ON atmosphere compare and explain
the difference when atmosphere is off. (Do not
change the position of the pressure guage)
