You goat a problem?!?!?
Archimedes' Principle: The magnitude of the buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the submerged object. In equations:
buoyant force = Fb = weight of fluid displaced = mfluid displaced g. But mfluid displaced = density of fluid x volume of object = Pfluid Vobject
Thus, we get:
Fb = Pfluid Vobject g
