Will the archimedes principle work on the moon?

In the usual simple argument based on Archimedes' principle, the volume of fluid displaced is simply V d i s p = m / ρ f where m is the mass of the object and ρ f is the density of the fluid in which it is floating. The mass of the object obviously doesn't change by moving it to the Moon (though its weight does). read more

Yes, of course. It applies any time something is immersed in a fluid (could be gas or liquid or a pseudo-liquid like vibrated sand) - and so long as there is gravity. read more

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid. read more

I know that density won't change on the moon because mass/ volume is not changing but what about in the case of Archimedes principle because that has to do with weight and that does change. read more

Archimedes' principle of buoyancy is given in the work, stated as follows: Any body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid experiences an upthrust equal to, but opposite in sense to, the weight of the fluid displaced. read more
