1. The buoyant force exerted by a liquid depends on the volume of the liquid displaced and the density of the liquid. 2. Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle is used in ship and submarine design. 3. A ship made of iron does not sink in water while an iron needle sinks because the ship displaces more water, experiencing a greater buoyant force that counteracts its weight, while the needle's small size results in a buoyant force too small to counteract its weight.
