in one or two sentences, explain how Archimedes principal can be used to find out an objects density if you already know its mass.
1 answer
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. By measuring the volume of water displaced when the object is submerged, one can use Archimedes' principle to find the object's density.
