  2. On Floating Bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Floating_Bodies

    Any body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. In addition to the principle that bears his name, Archimedes discovered that a submerged object displaces a volume of water equal to the object's own volume (upon which the story of him shouting "Eureka" is based). This ...

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    Archimedes' principle (also spelled Archimedes's principle) states that the upward 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 displaces. [1] Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of ...

  4. Buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy

    Buoyancy (/ ˈ b ɔɪ ən s i, ˈ b uː j ən s i /), [1] [2] or upthrust is a net upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus, the pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid is greater ...

  5. Immersion cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_cooling

    Immersion cooling is an IT cooling practice by which servers are completely or partially immersed in a dielectric fluid that has significantly higher thermal conductivity than air. Heat is removed from the system by putting the coolant in direct contact with hot components, and circulating the heated liquid through heat exchangers .

  6. Diving physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_physics

    Archimedes' principle - Ignoring the minor effect of surface tension, an object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Thus, when in water, the weight of the volume of water displaced as compared to the weight of the diver's body and the diver's equipment ...

    One homeowner in a neighbourhood north of Seattle lost about $435,000 (£343,000) to the scheme. The brothers pleaded guilty in September. They have already served six months of their 18-month ...

  8. Archimedes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes

    Any body wholly or partially immersed in fluid experiences an upthrust equal to, but opposite in direction to, the weight of the fluid displaced. In the second part, he calculates the equilibrium positions of sections of paraboloids. This was probably an idealization of the shapes of ships' hulls.

    New York Giants co-owner John Mara received another aerial message trashing his woeful team before Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. A small plane circled MetLife Stadium roughly two ...
