Density, Pressure and Upthrust

?
What is Density ?
Density is Mass per Unit volume
1 of 7
What is Pressure ?
Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area
2 of 7
What is density measured in ?
Measured in Kg m^-3
3 of 7
What is pressure measured in ?
Measured in N m^-3
4 of 7
What is Upthrust (in fluid) ?
Upwards force that fluid exerts on an object that is completely or partially submerged in fluid
5 of 7
Why is their upthrust in water ?
Due to the bottom and top of the object being at different depths therefore different pressures it causes an upwards thrust.

What is Archimedes Principle ?
When a body is completely or partially submerged in a fluid, it experiences upthrust equal to the weight of fluid it has displaced.
