This analogy can be extended to an arbitrary number of cubes | Record the new water level, Vf; calculate the change in volume |

The weight of the object in the fluid is reduced, because of the force acting on it, which is called upthrust | Part 2: The Displacement Method- Volume |
Every ship, submarine, and dirigible must be designed to displace a weight of fluid at least equal to its own weight | When the buoyant force equals 1 ton, it will sink no farther |

The second method is the displaced volume method | Draw a free-body diagram for this system |
