Archimedes principle is a very important concept in fluid mechanics which is credited to the Greek mathematician called Archimedes. The law simply states that; When an object is fully or partially immersed in a fluid , the immersed body experiences an upthrust(Weight loss) which is equal to the weight of fluid displaced by the immersed object.
In essence, the upthrust or volume of Displacement experienced by the object will be equal to the volume of the the object which is immersed in the fluid. Such that the force of buoyancy matches the weight of object immersed in the fluid.
One of the most common illustrations of Archimedes is in the navigation of ships whose upthrust increases as the weight of the ship increases such that the upthrust force balances the weight of the ship in water.
