Buoyancy Principle Demonstration - Why Objects Float or Sink #3809171 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts a classic science experiment illustrating buoyancy: two identical beakers contain water and two distinct objects-a wooden cork and a gray stone. As water is poured into the left beaker, the cork rises and floats due to its lower density relative to water, whereas the stone remains submerged and settles at the bottom, indicating higher density. The right beaker shows the final equilibrium state.
