a fluid is a nonsolid state of matter in which atoms are free to move past each other
liquids
Liquids can change shape; however, they have a definite volume (which makes them different from gases)
mass density is almost stable
gases
Gases, unlike solids and liquids, have indefinite shape and volume
mass density differs under certain temparatures and pressure levels

Fg/FB = Po/Pf
FB = Fg = mg
FB = Fg = mg

Formulas relating buoyant force, weight of displaced fluids, weight of the objects, and densities of both objects and fluids
ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE
states that any object completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
The apparent weight of a submerged object depends on density.
BUOYANT FORCES
buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed or floating on the liquid
the weight of an object immersed in water is called the apparent weight
