Archimedes' Principle gives the magnitude of the upward buoyancy force on objects in fluids.

Explanation:

Archimedes' Principle states that any object partially or totally submerged in a fluid is buoyed upwards with a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

therefore B=W_(fl)=m_(fl)g=rho_(fl)V_(fl)g
