Archimedes Principle
Archimedes principle is the upward bouyancy force that is extended on a body that is completely or partially immersed in a fluid and is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

Symbol | English | Metric |
\(\large{ B }\) = buoyancy | \(\large{lbf}\) | \(\large{N}\) |
\(\large{ \rho }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density of fluid | \(\large{\frac{lbm}{ft^3}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kg}{m^3}}\) |
\(\large{ g }\) = gravitational constant | \(\large{\frac{lbf-ft^2}{lbm^2}}\) | \(\large{\frac{N -m^2}{kg^2}}\) |
\(\large{ V }\) = volume of solid | \(ft^3\) | \(m^3\) |
