Principally deals with a floating body, the weight of a body in water is equal to the weight of the volume of water it displaces.Archimedes' principle(or
Archimedes's principle) is a
law of physicsstating that the upward
buoyant forceexerted on a body immersed in a
fluidis equal to the weight of the fluid the body
displaces. In other words, an immersed object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it actually displaces. Archimedes' principle is an important and underlying concept in the field of
fluid mechanics. This principle is named after its discoverer.

When was The Archimedes Principle created?
The Archimedes Principle was created in 2004.
Is Archimedes best known for his principle which deals with the buoyant force?
Yes, Archimedes is best known for his principle that is Archimedes' principle ( or the law of buoyancy )
Why is Archimedes' principle method called Archimedes' principle?
Archimedes principle is 'When a solid body is immersed wholly or partially in a liquid, then there is same apparent loss in its weight. This loss in weight is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body.' It was given by Archimedes so it was named after him.
What does Archimedes principle and the buoyancy have in common and where is it employed?
Archimedes' principle is the statement that says buoyancy exists, and explains how to calculate its magnitude. The principle is applied extensively in the maritime shipping and hot-air balooning industries.
What are examples of Archimedes's principle?
A boat sailing on water.
