Archimedes Principle

A long time ago a Greek scientist named Archimedes discovered an important scientific law related to buoyancy. It can be expressed as ‘Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.’

Watch this Archimedes Principle video, learn about buoyancy and see how it is used by today’s architects and engineers when they design ships, submarines and various other floating structures.
