What are bouyant forces?
1 Answer
The force that comes from the pressure exerted on a submerged object.
Explanation:
What is it? The force the comes from the pressure exerted on a submerged object. The buoyant force acts in the upward direction , against gravity, making things feel lighter.
How is it caused? Caused by pressure, when the pressure of the fluid increases with depth, the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Archimede's Principle is about the floating and sinking of a submerged object.
It states that : The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displace by the object.

Remember:
If the weight of water displaced is more than the weight of the object ~ it will float.
If the weight of the water displace is less than the weight of the object ~ it will sink
If the weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the object ~ it will hover . (suspended)
