Archimedes Principle

Real World Example

Imagine trying to fit a large suitcase into an already full car trunk before a road trip. Just like how you need to remove some items from the trunk to make space for the suitcase, an object placed in a fluid displaces the fluid to make room for itself. In this analogy, the suitcase represents the object in the fluid, the items in the trunk are the fluid being displaced, and just as you feel the relief when the trunk finally closes, the object experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced items, or fluid, allowing it to float or sink accordingly.
