Summary
This video delves into Archimedes' principle to explain why ships float and coins sink. By displacing water, objects experience an upward force called buoyancy. The principle was discovered when Archimedes was tasked to test the purity of a gold crown and realized he could measure its volume by submerging it in water. The concept of specific weight of fluids is crucial in understanding buoyancy, demonstrated using a cube test. Through practical examples, the video showcases how Archimedes' principle is applied in ship design and engineering projects like determining submarine density.
