Classification

Nouns denoting cognitive processes and contents.

Examples

  • According to Archimedes' principle of liquid displacement, the buoyancy force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
  • The principle of liquid displacement helps explain why ships are able to float despite being massive and heavy.
  • In the context of hydrostatics, the principle of liquid displacement is essential for determining the volume of an irregularly shaped object by measuring the volume of the displaced fluid.
  • By applying the principle of liquid displacement, scuba divers and snorkelers can calculate the density of an object underwater and understand its buoyancy characteristics.
  • The discovery of the principle of liquid displacement by Archimedes is often credited with marking the beginning of the field of hydrostatics.
