...they repel the water, heaping it up on each side, thus forming a cavity in the surface ; the needle is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, and, when this exceeds the weight of the needle, it will float. It is on this principle that... | |

...BALLOONING. Buoyant Effort of the Atmosphere. 14O. It has been shown that a body plunged into a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. That a similar effect is produced upon a body in the atmosphere, may be shown by means of an... | |
