Volume for 6 marbles is %2882.5-70%29mL=12.5%2AmL. Now for just 1 marble what will you do!?

            It was Archimedes who got an idea about  2300  years ago that the body,  submerged into water,
            displaces the water in the volume equal to the body's volume.


            This law is called  "Archimedes law"  since then.

                2300  years ago  (!)



And since then, this law is written and is taught in each and in every Physics textbook,
and in each and in every Science textbook, starting from 6-th grade.
