ARCHIMEDE'S PRINCIPLE

States that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces

Ex. The weight of a shell is greater than the buoyant force, so the shell sinks

BERNOULLI'S PRINCIPLE

States that as the speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure of the fluid decreases

Ex. When a leaf is put into a tube that gets gradually more narrow, the leaf speeds up when it enters the narrows part of the pipe, where there is less pressure

PASCAL'S PRINCIPLE

States that a change at any point in an enclosed fluid will be transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid

Ex. Because the pressure is the same on both sides of the enclosed fluid in a hydraulic lift, a small force on the smaller area produces a much larger force on the large area
