In 212 B C Archimedes found buoyancy.
buoyancy
false >Archimedes' principle does<
Fluid pressure is higher with increase in depth. Pressure that is increased is felt from all directions. This leads to buoyancy or the upward force on the submerged object. This is related to the Archimedes Principle that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the displaced weight of the water.
If something has a density that is less than the density of the liquid it is in, it will float. Water has a density of 1 so anything with a density less than 1 will float.
Archimedes. So the story goes. He was in the bath one day, and the water did not flood over the edge of the bath. However, on another day the bath was full to the brim. He gets in and notices the water splash out. That's where the water went. He run's down the street shouting 'Eureka, I have found it!!!!' So today we have the Archimedean Principle ; 'The weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced'. I learnt that at school at the age of 11 years. Archimedes also gave us the 'Archimedean Screw' for lifting water, and polished brass shields, against the Sun, to Blind the Enemy.
Archimedes
The phenomena of buoyancy was first discovered by Archimedes.
Archimedes Principal is the principal for buoyancy
Who was Archimedes.
buoyancy.
Archimedes studied buoyancy in 212-250 B.C.
Yes, Archimedes is best known for his principle that is Archimedes' principle ( or the law of buoyancy )
Archimedes principal explains buoyancy. The principle makes its use in ships and submarines.
Archimedes, indeed it's law of buoyancy.
Archimedes' principle is the statement that says buoyancy exists, and explains how to calculate its magnitude. The principle is applied extensively in the maritime shipping and hot-air balooning industries.
Archimedes worked at his home in Italy
Well, yes and no. More no than yes. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy#Archimedes.27_principle
