The Variables are:> The amount of salt> The amount of water> The amount of stirring> The type of salt and> The type of water Prediction (Hypothesis): Using the law of Archimedes Principle I predict that the more salt added to the water each time will make the up thrust greater causing the weight attached to the Newton meter to weigh less Newton's, this is because the more salt added the more salt molecules are dissolved causing the water to become more dense. Equipment: * One 1 litre glass beaker * 300ml of water * One plastic spoon * Clamp * Newton Meter * String * Two 100g weight * 210 grams...
