Concept of Buoyancy & Archimedes Principal

Archimedes is considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians and inventors. His most famous theorem deals with the weight of a body immersed in water. It is known after him as the “Archimedes’ Principle”. It states that a body immersed in a liquid will be subjected to an upward force (buoyancy) equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid it displaces. The aim of this experiment is to demonstrate this concept.

Learning Outcomes
