CARTESIAN DIVER

Code:- 19481394

Cartesian Diver is supplied with hollow glass diver, with a 10” x 1.5” glass

cylinder, a rubber sheet and rubber band. Fill the cylinder with water,

drop in the diver so he floats, fasten the sheet totally across the top and

then gently depress the sheet. The diver will dive, his speed depending

upon the pressure you place on the sheet, release the sheet and the

diver returns to the surface. The diver’s behaviour illustrates the uniform

transmission of pressure in all directions, the compressibility of gases

and Archimedes Principle.
