Geocache Description:


In physics, buoyancy (pronounced /'b??.?nsi/) is the upward force that keeps things afloat. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least seem lighter. This cache is named after Archimedes of Syracuse, who first discovered this law. According to Archimedes' principle, "Any object, wholly or partly immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object."

For this cache, you might use water as a "tool" to access this cache. It might be possible to use other tools but water will work best.
