Archimedes Principle (Upthrust)
upthrustâ=ĎgV=densityâ
gravitational accelerationâ
volume=weight of liquid displacedâ
Derived from:
upthrust = upwards force on bottom surface - downwards force on top surface
Float - The weight of water displaced > weight of object
Float - Upthrust > weight
Sink - The weight of water displaced < weight of object
Sink - Upthrust < weight
