MediumWhat is buoyant force?
(N/A) Buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object that is wholly or partially immersed in it.
According to Archimedes' principle,the magnitude of this force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Mathematically,$F_b = \rho \cdot V \cdot g$,where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid,$V$ is the volume of the displaced fluid,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
