Question
State the principle of floatation.

Answer

“When a solid is floating in a fluid, the weight of whole solid acting vertically downward at its "Centre of Gravity", is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the "Immersed" part of solid acting upward, at its "centre of Buoyancy" or at the centre of the "Bulk of liquid" displaced.” OR “The weight of a floating body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by its "Submerged" part.”
