Physics Form Four: Chapter 3 - Principle of Archimedes

The principle of Archimedes states that "The buoyant force acting on an object completely submerged in water equals the weight of the displaced water."

For surbmerged objects,
Buoyant force = Weight of the fluid displaced
 
For floated objects,
Buoyant force = Weight of the fluid displaced = Weight of the floated object
