Buoyancy is the relative tendency of an object to displace a fluid, that is to either float or sink in a liquid, or to rise or sink within a gas.

Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object that is immersed in it. It is caused by the displacement of the fluid by the object. Objects that have less average density than the fluid will be held up (buoyed). They will float in a given liquid or rise within a volume of a given gas. the force with which a more dence fluid pushes a less dense substance upwards!!!!!!! the force with which a more dence fluid pushes a less dense substance upwards!!!!!!!
