4. Archimedes Principle states that when
a body is immersed partially or fully in
a fluid, it experiences an upward force
that is equal to the weight of the fluid
displaced by it.

9. the property of the fluids to apply
buoyant force is called buoyance

10. The Buoyant force acting on
an object depends upon two
factors:
10
× The volume of the body immersed
i.e. volume of the fluid displaced, or
× density of the fluid
11. In Real World
× Designing ships and submarines
× Making Lactometers, which are used to determine
the purity of a sample of milk
× Making Hydrometers , which are used for
determining density of liquids
