Archimedes Principle, It states that when a body is partially or wholly immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward thrust equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it and its opthrust acts through the centre of gravity of the liquid displaced.
Proof: Consider a body of height "h" lying inside of destiny `rho` , at a depth bx below the freesurface of the liquid. area of cross section of the body is "a" . The forces on the sides of the body cancel out.
Pressure at trhe upper face of the body, `P_(1),=xrhog`.
Pressure of the lower face of the body,`P_(2)=(x+h)rhog`.
Thrust acting on the upper of the body is
`F_(1)=P_(1)a=xrhoga`
acting vertically downwards,
Thrust acting on the lower face of the body is
`F_(2)=P_(2)a=(x+h)rhoga`
The resultant force`(F_(2)-F_(1))` isacting on the body in the upward direction and is called upthrust (U).
`U=F_(2)-F_(1)=(x+h)rhoga-xrhoa=ahrhog`
But ah=V, Volume of the body=Volume of the liquid
`U=Vrhog=Mg`
Upthrust or buoyant force=Weight of liquid displaced .
This proves the Archimedes principle.

Where do you observe Archimedes principle in daily life ? Give two examples.

A king ordered his Goldsmith to make a crown which should be of pure gold. SO the goldsmith to made a crown of pure gold & brought it to king. but the king was not contended with the crown as he suspected whether it is made of pure gold or not. So he called for Archimedes and asked him to check whether it is a pure gold crowm. Archimedes was serious about this and went his home thinking how to solve this issue. He wanted to take bath, all of a sudden the jumped on to the bath tub. Water inside the tub had splashed out of it. An idea striked him suddenly he went running naked straight from his bathroom to the king's pace shouting Eureka Eureka on the road side. From this what do we infer ? State Archimedes principle.
