Geocache Description:

Archimedes' principle

Archimedes' principle (or Archimedes's principle) is a law of physics stating that the upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid the body displaces. In other words, an immersed object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it actually displaces. Archimedes' principle is an important and underlying concept in the field of fluid mechanics. This principle is named after its discoverer, Archimedes of Syracuse. (ref. Wikipedia)

Hopefully you've worked out what to do. Once you've located the cache, you'll need a bottle of water to raise the container (1 litre will be enough) but be quick or the water will escape faster than you pour it in. Please ensure you securely replace the cache lid.
