Resumen de Archimedes Revisited and Beyond
Almost every general physics text includes a description of the primary forces involved with a floating object, weight and buoyant force. However, the physical orientation of the floating object is rarely discussed. The goal of this paper is to go beyond what Archimedes taught us. Motivation for this paper started with a Physics Today article1 by Henry Pollack describing iceberg orientations. Almost as an aside, the author mentions a floating cube of wood and its nonintuitive orientations.
