Archimedes' principle states that an object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. This principle explains why objects float or sink in a fluid. In essence, when an object is placed in a fluid (liquid or gas), it pushes some of the fluid out of the way. The weight of the fluid that is displaced creates an upward force on the object.
