Help with true and false questions about archimedes principle

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

The Archimedes principle states that an object will exhibit a buoyant force equal to the mass of the object. Is this true because this keeps boats floating if I am correct

remember what i said before archimedes principle : Fbuoy = weight of the liquid displaced by the object. If the object is submerged, the volume of the liquid displaced is equal to the volume of the object. If the object is only floating, the volume of the liquid displaced is less than the volume of the object. and also take note, in physics mass is different from weight :)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

ohhh so it has to be the volume

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

not mass of the object

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The statement is true if it says "The Archimedes principle states that an object will exhibit a buoyant force equal to the \(\sf \text{weight of the displaced liquid}\)." \(\sf \color{red}{\text{Archimedes Principle}}:F_{buoyant}= \text{weight of displaced liquid}\)
