Using this principle one can find the buoyant force on an immersed object by enclosing the body with a parallelepiped and then removing the body.
Using this principle one can find the buoyant force on an immersed object by enclosing the body with a parallelepiped and then removing the body. Sum the forces acting on the parallelepiped and the resulting force is the buoyant force. This principle states that the buoyant force has a magnitude equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body and is directed vertically upward. FTP, identify this principle named in honor of a Greek mathematician who first noted the basic ideas associated with hydrostatics.
