- Buoyancy - Wikipedia
Buoyancy ( ˈbɔɪənsi, ˈbuːjənsi ), [1][2] or upthrust, is the force exerted by a fluid opposing the weight of a partially or fully immersed object (which may also be a parcel of fluid) In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid
- Buoyancy in Physics – Definition, Formula, Examples
Buoyancy is an essential force in fluid mechanics, governing why objects float or sink From Archimedes’ principle to practical applications in engineering and medicine, understanding buoyancy involves exploring the interplay of density, fluid displacement, and gravitational forces
- Buoyancy | Force, Definition, History, Applications | Britannica
Buoyancy describes the tendency of an object to float or rise in a fluid when submerged; this fluid can be either a liquid or a gas
- What Is Buoyancy? The Physics of Floating
Buoyancy is more than just a curious force that makes things float It’s a fundamental aspect of physics that reveals the balance of forces, the nature of fluids, and the elegance of physical laws It’s the reason we can sail the seas, soar through the skies, and plumb the depths of the oceans

Explore the principles of buoyancy through interactive simulations, learning about fluid density, object volume, and their effects on floating and sinking
- Buoyancy - Summary – The Physics Hypertextbook
When an object is immersed in a fluid, the pressure on its bottom is greater than the pressure on its top This results in an upward force called buoyancy
- Buoyancy - The Engineering ToolBox
Buoyancy is defined as the tendency of a body to float or rise when submerged in a fluid The resultant force acting on a submerged body by the fluid is called the buoyant force and can be expressed as F = V γ = V ρ g (1) where F = buoyant force (N) V = body volume (m3) γ = ρ g = specific weight of fluid (N m3) ρ = density of fluid (kg m3)
