explain.What do u mean by buoyant force?I'll b highly respectfull
Dear Student,
@Verma and Sunil both of you have answerd the question of Akhterraza. I shall add a day to day life example. Take a plastic bottle with its mouth closed. Try to immerse this bottle in a bucket filled with water. What do you observe? Something is pushing the bottle upwards! This upward push is the buoyant force. The force is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced. If the density of the object immersed in water is lesser than the density of water then the upward force will exceed the weight of the object, and it will float. If the density of the object is higher than the density of water then it will sink in water.
