...at the surface of the mercury. 78. Archimedes' Principle. — If a solid be immersed in a fluid, it loses in weight an amount equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. This law is known, from its discoverer, as Archimedes' Principle. The law appears evidently true if we consider...

...necessary to push the chimney down. According to Archimedes' principle, a body either partially or totally immersed in a fluid loses in weight an amount equal to the weight of the fluid which it displaces. The weight of the fluid displaced is the buoyancy of the fluid on the object. A...

...pressure on the outside of the film will not be altered. Whence, any body immersed in a fluid at rest loses in weight an amount equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. This is called Archimedes ' Principle. If the volume of the immersed body be denoted by...

...force, moment of force, velocity, acceleration. [Dartmouth.] 914. How can you prove experimentally that "a body immersed in a fluid loses in weight an amount equal to the weight of the fluid displaced " ? Make a diagram and explain the working of the ordinary suction pump, and state what limits the...

...gr. of a solid may be determined by the principle of Archimedes — that a body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid loses in weight an amount equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. Suppose the body placed in the pan of an ordinary balance weighed 434 grammes; suspended...

...cross-section extending upward to the surface. (4) A body immersed in, or floating on the surface of, a fluid loses in weight an amount equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. The hydrostatic paradox : pressure on the bottom of a vessel is not equal to the weight...

...force is removed. Weight of Submerged Body. — A body submerged in water or other fluid will lose in weight an amount equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. This is known as the principle of Archimedes. To illustrate, suppose the upper surface...
