Concept introduction:

Archimedes’ Principle is defined as:

The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces or weight of the body immersed in a fluid.

This can be rewritten as,

Buoyant force (up) = Weight of block (down)
