According to the Archimedes’ principle: the upward buoyant force which is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid may be partially or fully submerged, will be equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Also, it acts in the upward direction at the centre of mass of the displaced fluid.The value of this thrust force will be given by the Archimedes principle. It was discovered by Archimedes of Syracuse of Greece. When an object is partially or fully immersed in a liquid, then the apparent loss of weight will be equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it.Therefore, this principle says that the upward buoyancy force exerted on a body partially or completely immersed in a fluid will be equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. The Archimedes principle is a fundamental law of physics useful in fluid mechanics.Archimedes Principle Formula
The apparent weight of the body will be: Apparent weight= Weight of object in the air – Thrust force (buoyancy)
