回答: 2kg of wood cannot float on 1kg water. 由 cornbug 于 2012-06-18, 10:42:39:

The volume of the immersed part of the object is important, not the actual volume of water that is displaced by it.

In other words, no fluid needs to be actually displaced for Archimedes' principle to take effect. The object merely needs to be surrounded by the fluid.
