'''Archimedes' principle''' states that the upward [[buoyancy|buoyant force]] that is exerted on a body immersed in a [[fluid]], whether fully or partially, is equal to the [[weight]] of the fluid that the body [[displacement (fluid)|displaces]].<ref name="khanacademy.org">{{cite web|url=https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/fluids/buoyant-force-and-archimedes-principle/a/buoyant-force-and-archimedes-principle-article|title=What is buoyant force?|website=Khan Academy}}</ref> Archimedes' principle is a [[law of physics]] fundamental to [[fluid mechanics]]. It was formulated by [[Archimedes]] of [[Syracuse, Sicily|Syracuse]].<ref name="acottLaw">{{Cite journal |author=Acott, Chris |title=The diving "Law-ers": A brief resume of their lives. |journal=[[South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society Journal]] |volume=29 |issue=1 |year=1999 |issn=0813-1988 |oclc=16986801 |url=http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/5990 |access-date=2009-06-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727224657/http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/5990 |archive-date=2011-07-27 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>
