🌊 Buoyancy & Density Tank
Explore Archimedes' Principle! Drop blocks into the tank to see if they float or sink based on the density of the liquid. Grab and drag the blocks to dunk them underwater!

⚖️ The Physics
If an object's density is less than the fluid's density, it will float. If it is more, it will sink.
Archimedes' Principle: The buoyant (upward) force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Notice how the wood block floats lower in Oil than it does in Water!
