When the weight of the fluid displaced by the object is more than the object’s weight, then the phenomenon is known as positive buoyancy. In this case, the object will float on the surface of the fluid.
When the weight of the fluid displaced is less than the object’s weight, it is called negative buoyancy. In this case, the object will sink.
When the weight of the fluid displaced is equal to the object’s weight, it is called neutral buoyancy. In this case, the object the object neither sinks nor rises. It will be suspended in the fluid.
Buoyancy is the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object immersed in it. Learn about the types of buoyancy, the law of buoyancy, and how to calculate the buoyant force with examples and diagrams.
Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float or rise in a fluid due to the force of gravity and fluid pressure. Learn how buoyancy works, how it relates to density and Archimedes' principle, and how it is used in ships, submarines, and fish.
Learn what buoyant force is, how it is caused by the difference in pressure of a fluid, and how it affects floating and sinking of objects. Explore the applications of buoyancy in hot air balloons, ships, fishes, and more.

- Buoyancy is important in swimming because it helps the swimmer to stay closer to the surface. This is because the pressure experienced by the swimm...
- The pressure exerted by the fluid in which the object is immersed causes buoyancy. Also, the buoyant force experienced by the object is always upwa...
- The three types of buoyancy are positive buoyancy, negative buoyancy, and neutral buoyancy. Positive buoyancy is when the immersed object is lighte...
- A boat or a ship floating in the water and the floating of cork in water are examples of buoyancy.
- Buoyancy or the buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the immersed fluid.
Learn how the buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid it displaces, and how density determines whether an object floats or sinks. Explore examples, applications, and the story behind Archimedes’ principle.
Learn the definition, formula and factors of buoyancy, the force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid. Find out how buoyancy relates to pressure, density, volume and gravity.
Sep 16, 2024 · Learn about the physical law of buoyancy discovered by Archimedes, which states that any body in a fluid is acted upon by an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Find out how to calculate the buoyant force, volume, and specific gravity of objects, and see examples and applications of buoyancy in ships and fluids.
