...weight to the weight of the body. Wt. of body=Wt. of liquid displaced 3. ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE A body immersed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it. 25. Specific Gravity. In studying about density, different substances were found to be of varying... | |

...therefore, the value of the force by which the body is buoyed up. But by Archimedes' principle a body is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced ; and since the liquid displaced is equal in volume to the volume of the body, the denominator of expression... | |

...depth the body is placed in the liquid. Archimedes' Principle may then be stated as follows: A body immersed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it. 34. Floating Bodies. The weight of water displaced by a floating body may be found from an experiment... | |

...atmosphere. Its apparent feathery lightness was explained long ago when Archimedes stated that a body immersed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. Archimedes would have been no less truthful if he had used the term "fluid" instead of liquid, because... | |

...best-known examples concerned floating bodies and levers. "Archimedes' principle" states that a body immersed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. Although the lever had been used from time immemorial, Archimedes worked out its theoretical principle.... | |
