an object is immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This became known as Archimede's principle. The weight of the displaced fluid can be found mathematically. The fluid displaced has a weight W = mg. The mass can now be expressed in terms of the density and its volume, m = pV. Hence, W = pVg.

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 )
What is Archimedes principle in math?
The Principle or law states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces. In other words, imagine that you sat down in a tub full of water and the water splashes out the edges. You notice that so you take that displaced water and measure the amount. However much you displaced of that fluid is the amount lighter you become in the rest of the liquid.
Does Archimedes' principle hold in a vessel in a free fall?
For a free fall, the effective value of acceleration due to gravity is zero. As a result, the buoyant force will not exit. Therefore, Archimedes's principle will not hold good in this situation.
Archimedes' principle states that an object placed in a fluid will experience a buoyant force to the weight of the fluid it displaces true or false?
TRUE
What will happen if the buoyant force of a fluid is less than the weight of an object placed in the fluid according to Archimedes' principle?
Then the object will sink.
