Archimedes' principle states that:
The upward force known as Buoyant force exerted on a body or object which is partially or full submerged inside liquid is equal to the weight of the liquid that body displaces and it acts in upward direction at the center of the mass of the displaced liquid.
Archimedes principle is given by the formula -
Fb = p × g × V
Where, Fb = Buoyant force
P = density of the liquid
g = acceleration due to gravity
V = Submerged volume
Example of Archimedes Principle -
The ice cube floats in a glass of water because ice is less dense than water and it has displaced the volume of water.
Hi
Thank you
Hello,
Archimedes' principle is the relation between the weight of the body and the water displaced. It states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics.
