Synopsis
Excerpt from Rudiments of Naval Architecture: Or an Exposition of the Elementary Principles of the Science and the Practical Application to Naval Construction; Compiled for the Use of Beginners
When a body floats on a fluid, it displaces as much of that fluid as is equal in size and form to the portion of the body which is immersed, and the bulk of fluid thus displaced is known to be equivalent in weight to the weight of the whole body; the measure therefore in solidity, of the portion of the body that is immersed, will give the magnitude of the fluid displaced, and the weight of this bulk of fluid will give the weight of the floating body.
