Derive the archimedes principle ??

Answers (1)

best_answer

Archimedes principle states that when a body is immersed partly or wholly in a fluid, then the liquid exerts an upward force/upthrust/buoyant force on the body which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force-

  • The buoyant force is given as 

F_B=\rho Vg

Where FB=Buoyant force

         \rho= density of the fluid

            V= Volume of the solid body immersed in the liquid or Volume of the fluid displaced

As \ \rho =\frac{m}{V}

So we can write F_B=mg=weight of the fluid displaced

Where m=mass of the fluid displaced
