Sacred Heart School student Sumer Sikri presents to Rohan Jain on upthrust and Archimedes. Upthrust is the upward force that objects experience when submerged in fluids, and depends on the object's surface area and shape. Archimedes discovered that upthrust equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. He developed Archimedes' principle, which explains that immersed objects experience an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid they displace.
