This is going to be the title of the next task in My Virtual Workbench series. It's the cry of enlightenment made by that famous Greek scientist ,Archimedes, when he flopped into his very full bathtub of water, and a large amount of the water spilled over onto the floor ! It inspired him to come forth with his very famous Principle "When a body is immersed in a liquid there is an apparent loss of weight, and this loss of weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body"
For the experiment, I'm going to have to put together some virtual apparatus :- a tank of water, a spring balance, a beaker to catch displaced water, a weigh scale, and a couple of bodies (of the non-human variety). These will have to be modelled (or perhaps I can pick up something free from TurboSquid) and then I'll have to see if 3D Rad can provide the physics and effects.
