Archimeds principle-
When a body is immersed fully or partially in a fluid the upthrust experienced by it is which is equal to the weight of fluid displaced
Explanation with an example
the floating ship
Let's use a ship as an example. A ship is made of steel. Right about now, you may be saying, 'But steel doesn't float!' So how is it a ship can float?
Now imagine drawing a line where the water comes up on the hull of the ship. Then, fill the ship's hull with water up to that line. How much do you think the water would weigh? If you said 'a lot,' you're right. It would actually weigh as much as the entire ship!
