Is surface area of an any object influences buoyant force

the buoyant force is equal to the weight of fluid displaced." The weight of the liquid depends on the volume of liquid displaced . Volume of liquid depends on the area of the bottom surface of the liquid . Thus indirectly , the buoyant force depends on the area of the base of the container . But at the same time for constant volume of liquid displaced , while area increases the depth of liquid displaced will be less . Thus while saying that he buoyant force is equal to the weight of fluid displaced." it inherently implies larger the base area, larger is the volume of liquid displaced and larger will be buoyant force . After all pressure * area = force and hence when area is greater force will be greater .
