Who first stated the relationship between buoyant force and weight?

What is the decrease in weight caused by the upward force of displaced fluid?
It is named after Archimedes of Syracuse, who first discovered this law. According to Archimedes' Principle, "any body fully or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced." When a body is fully immersed the weight of fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the body times the density of the fluid. So this amount will be the reduction in apparent weight of the body. If the body is floating, its apparent weight is reduced to zero, so the weight of fluid displaced must equal the weight of the body. In this case only part of the volume of the body needs to be immersed to displace its weight in fluid, because the body has a lower density than the fluid.
