Archimedes’ Principle and Buoyancy

When an object is placed in a fluid,
It pushes aside water, and we view it.
The displaced fluid has a certain weight,
Equal to the buoyant force—let's clearly state.
This upward force, it acts on the thing,
Counteracting gravity, that downward swing.
Whether it sinks, floats, or stays suspended,
Depends on forces that are comprehended.

Archimedes’ Principle, precise and clear,
Buoyant force equals the fluid displaced here.
Understand density and volume, too,
That’s how buoyancy works, it's true.

Density equals mass over volume, that's the fact,
If the object’s denser, sinking is how it'll act.
If its density is less, floating is seen,
Equal densities, suspension in between.
Measure fluid volume displaced by the thing,
Find the fluid's weight—that’s the buoyancy it brings.
For objects submerged or partially immersed,
This is fundamental, keep it well rehearsed.

Archimedes’ Principle, precise and clear,
Buoyant force equals the fluid displaced here.
Understand density and volume, too,
That’s how buoyancy works, it's true.

Gravity pulls down, buoyancy lifts up,
Balance them out, equilibrium’s struck.
Sinking, floating, or just hanging mid-way,
Know these forces clearly—no confusion today.

Calculate the buoyant force, it's easy to do,
Multiply displaced fluid volume and density, true.
Then multiply by gravity, standard is "g,"
Nine-point-eight meters per second squared, precisely.
In labs and life, from boats to balloons,
Knowing Archimedes’ Principle is useful soon.
Engineering, physics, this law’s applied,
Master these basics, knowledge fortified.

Archimedes’ Principle, precise and clear,
Buoyant force equals the fluid displaced here.
Understand density and volume, too,
That’s how buoyancy works, it's true.

Archimedes' Principle, your guide to see,
How buoyancy behaves scientifically.
