  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 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 Syracuse. [2]

  4. Chyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chyme

    Chyme has a low pH that is countered by the production of bile, which helps the further digestion of food. Chyme is part liquid and part solid: a thick semifluid mass of partially digested food and digestive secretions that is formed in the stomach and small intestine during digestion. Chyme also contains cells from the mouth and esophagus that ...

  5. Flotation of flexible objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flotation_of_flexible_objects

    Any 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. — Archimedes of Syracuse While this basic idea carried enormous weight and has come to form the basis of understanding why objects float, it is best applied for objects with a characteristic length scale ...

  6. Buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy

    Any 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 —with the clarifications that for a sunken object the volume of displaced fluid is the volume of the object, and for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object ...

  7. Archimedes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes

    Measurement of volume by displacement, (a) before and (b) after an object has been submerged; the amount by which the liquid rises in the cylinder (∆V) is equal to the volume of the object. The most widely known anecdote about Archimedes tells of how he invented a method for determining the volume of an object with an irregular shape.

    Those colored shapes are called “printer’s color blocks” or “process control patches,” and they’re there to help the printing team who prints the food packaging.

    Surgical removal of the stomach is called a gastrectomy, and removal of the cardia area is a called a cardiectomy. "Cardiectomy" is a term that is also used to describe the removal of the heart . [ 49 ] [ 50 ] [ 51 ] A gastrectomy may be carried out because of gastric cancer or severe perforation of the stomach wall.
