...is true : that, in every case, the loss of weight which a body undergoes when immersed in a liquid, is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. Thus, if we took a number of balls of the same size, but of different materials — gold, iron, marble,... | |

...noted, the two results are compared, when it is found that the "upthrust on a body immersed in a liquid is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body." It has been found by experience that an ordinary boy or girl of 13 years of age is able to get results... | |

...that displaces less than its weight. The amount of buoyant force exerted by any liquid on any body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. This is Archimedes' principle. Buoyant force is due to the pressure of the liquid. The density of a... | |
