I had read that, according to Law of Buoyancy/Archimedes Principle,
"Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object."
But does that depend on the shape of the object immersed? I see, that a metal block doesn't float when it's immersed in water. Please help me understanding this.
