...they repel the water, heaping it up on each side, thus forming a cavity in the surface ; the needle is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, and, when this exceeds the weight of the needle, it will float. It is on this principle that certain... | |

...principle, entirely analogous to the principle of AECHIMEDES : When a body is plunged into a gas, it is buoyed up by -a force equal to the weight -of the displaced gas. If the buoyant effort is greater than the weight of the body, the latter will rise ; if it is... | |
