Solution

This principle indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the wight of the fluid that the body displaces.
Take a solid body which is heavier than water and also insoluble in water. Suspend it from the hook of a spring balance to find its weight in air. Now suspend the given solid from hook to spring balance and lower the solid in the water till it is completely immersed in water. Note the reading of the spring balance in the both cases. The difference in the readings will be the equal to weight of water displaced by the liquid in other container due to spilling.
