Archimedes Principle

Archimedes Principle

1. Archimedes Principle states that when a body is wholly or partially immersed in a fluid it experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
2. Upthrust/Buoyant force is an upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it.
3. Mathematically, we write

$$$$ F=ρVg

     F = Upthrust/Buoyant Force

     ρ = Density of the liquid

     V = Volume of the displaced liquid

     g = Gravitational field strength
