What is Archimedes' Principle?

Archimedes' Principle is a law of physics related to the the ability of an object to float. This is a physical law related to the ability of an object to float that states that any object fully or partially submerged in water and at rest is acted upon in an upward direction, by a force whose magnitude is equal to the weight of the object. Since this force works in the opposite direction, the body/object neither sinks nor rises. If the sunk object displaces as much water as its weight, it does not sink but floats. The best example to explain this law is the ship in the ocean. When the ship enters the ocean, it begins to sink until it has displaced the same amount of ayer which is equal to its own weight, after which it starts to float.
