    http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/class/phscilab/dens.html Archimedes’ principle states that the buoyant force experienced by a submerged object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. Experimentally this appears in the fact that the submerged object apparently weighs less by an amount equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. The buoyant force can be expressed as http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/pbuoy.html#arch3 Buoyancy Buoyancy arises from the
