Archimedes' Principle, wood engraving, published in 1880 - stock illustration
The Archimedes' principle, formulated about 2000 years ago by the Greek scholar Archimedes of Syracuse that states that a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. The principle applies to both floating and submerged bodies and to all fluids, i.e., liquids and gases. It explains not only the buoyancy of ships and other vessels in water but also the rise of a balloon in the air and the apparent loss of weight of objects underwater. Wood engraving, published in 1880.
