...sugar solutions is based on the well-known principle of Archimedes that a body immersed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. In making a determination, a glass sinker or bulb weighted with mercury is suspended from the arm of...

...use of standards of mass is the buoyancy or lifting effect of the air. A body immersed in any fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. Two bodies of equal mass, if placed one on each pan of an equal-arm balance, will balance each...

...iron instead of the liquid. Therefore when any object is wholly or partially immersed in a liquid it is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid, and the center of pressure is where the center of gravity of the submerged portion would be if it were...

...law is called the Principle of Archimedes. It may be stated as follows : A body immersed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. This tendency of a liquid to lift a submerged body is called its buoyancy, and depends in amount upon...

...has the greater volume, because by the principle of Archimedes an object totally immersed in a fluid7 is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. In order to fix this idea with greater definiteness, let us consider the weighing of a liter...

...hand so that it nearly reaches the bottom. According to Archimedes ' principle, the thermometer is now buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced water and, conversely, the water is pushed down .by an equal force, so some additional weight must...

...sin a = w V I FIG. 172 where V is the volume of water displaced by the body. That is, a floating body is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid; or, otherwise stated, a floating body displaces its own weight of the liquid. This is known as Archimedes'...
