   What is a buoyant force?

   • When an object is immersed in water, pressure is exerted on the object, known as buoyancy. The force acting upwards is called buoyant force. What are the Three Types of Buoyancy? There are three types of buoyancy: Positive buoyancy: When the weight of an object is lighter than the fluid it displaces is called positive buoyancy.

   What happens if the buoyant force is larger than the weight?

   • If the buoyant force is larger than the object's weight, then the object floats. Otherwise, the object sinks. In either case, it will displace some fluid. Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. Let's use this relation to find an equation for the buoyant force.

   What is the physical law of buoyancy?

   • The physical law of buoyancy was given by the Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes. Archimedes’ principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.
