Answer:

the principle which tells us how an object floats in water it states that the amount of water displaced should be greater than weight of the object then a body can float

Explanation:

wt of water displaced>wt of object

What's it

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

Define it in simpler termz....

In simple words, Archimedes' principle states that, when a body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, it experiences an apparent loss in weight that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the immersed part of the body(s).

But where it would have been used ....

From this principle one can now explain how an incredibly heavy aircraft carrier, shipping vessel or cruise ship can float, even if it is made of materials like steel which have a density greater than the density of water. As long as the volume of water that is displaced by the boat is equal to the weight of the boat, the buoyant force on the boat will counteract gravity's downward pull.

BTW Who was Archimedes?

Archimedes was a classical Greek thinker and tinkerer who lived from about 287 B.C. to 212 B.C. in Syracuse, an ancient Greek city-state on the island of Sicily. As a young man, Archimedes traveled to study in the world's largest library at the time, the Library of Alexandria in Egypt.

Known for his many mathematical formulations, including calculating pi to the most precise value until electronic calculators came along, he was also one of the first scientists to apply his math to physics and vice versa. Archimedes' discovery of a principle to describe buoyancy, or how things float, is at the center of one of the most famous stories in science history.
