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.

 In physicsbuoyancy (play /ˈbɔɪ.ənsi/) is a force exerted by a fluid that opposes an object's weight. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus a column of fluid, or an object submerged in the fluid, experiences greater pressure at the bottom of the column than at the top. This difference in pressure results in a net force that tends to accelerate an object upwards. The magnitude of that force is equal to the difference in the pressure between the top and the bottom of the column, and is also equivalent to the weight of the fluid that would otherwise occupy the column. For this reason, an object whose density is greater than that of the fluid in which it is submerged tends to sink. If the object is either less dense than the liquid or is shaped appropriately (as in a boat), the force can keep the object afloat. This can occur only in a reference frame which either has a gravitational field or is accelerating due to a force other than gravitydefining a "downward" direction (that is, a[non-inertial reference frame]). In a situation of fluid statics, the net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body

 When an object is placed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force we call the buoyant force. The buoyant force comes from the pressure exerted on the object by the fluid. Because the pressure increases as the depth increases, the pressure on the bottom of an object is always larger than the force on the top - hence the net upward force.

 A completely submerged body displaces a volume of liquid equal to itsown volume. Experience also tell us that when an object is submerged, itappear lighter in weight; the water buoys it up, pushed upward, partiallysupporting it somehow. Archimedes' Buoyancy Principle asserts that

an object immersed in a liquid will be lighter by an amountequal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
