Answer:

Archimedes

Step-by-step explanation:

Archimedes suggested in his work, called On Floating Bodies that "Any object, totally or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." This was later known as the Archimedes principle.
