Buoyancy tersely: Buoyancy = weight of displaced fluid. Archimedes' principle does not consider the surface tension (capillarity) acting on the body, but this additional force modifies only the amount of fluid displaced and the spatial distribution of the displacement, so the principle that "Buoyancy = weight of displaced fluid" remains valid. The weight of the displaced fluid is directly proportional to the volume of the displaced fluid (if the surrounding fluid is of uniform density). In simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or
The Widow of Bath The Widow of Bath The Widow of Bath is a crime thriller novel by the Scottish author Margot Bennett, published in 1952. Hugh Everton, who is struggling to readjust to normal life after serving several months in prison, re-encounters his ex-lover, the vivacious Lucy, who is married to the staid Judge Bath.
