Here's why:
* Buoyancy: This principle states that an object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force (buoyant force) equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
* Water Displacement Method: When a stone is submerged in water, it displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. This is because the stone takes up space that was previously occupied by water.
* Measurement: By measuring the volume of water displaced, we are essentially measuring the volume of the stone itself.
Therefore, the water displacement method relies on the principle of buoyancy to determine the volume of an object.
