Answer:

Archimedes principle states that"When a body is totally or partially immersed in a liquid,it experience an upthrust which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced"

This shows that the weight of liquid displaced when a certain object is placed in water is equal to the weight of the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello !

Archimedes' principle

''states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.''

Archimedes principle equation is given as

buoyant force = density of fluid x volume of displaced fluid x acceleration due to gravity. or

Fb=-density*gravity*volume

For example, a ship that is launched sinks into the ocean until the weight of the water it displaces is just equal to its own weight.
