Archimedes stated that the mass of liquid displaced by a floating body equalled the mass of that body. One can deduce from this that if the displacement is less than the mass of a body then that body will sink.

How is buoyancy and Archimedes principle related?

Fluid pressure is higher with increase in depth. Pressure that is increased is felt from all directions. This leads to buoyancy or the upward force on the submerged object. This is related to the Archimedes Principle that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the displaced weight of the water.


How is buoyancy calculated when deriving Archimedes' principle?

Buoyancy is calculated by determining the weight of the fluid displaced by an object submerged in it. This weight is equal to the buoyant force acting on the object, as described by Archimedes' principle.
