Nobody invented it; it's a property of our world, and of our universe.
However, the Greek scientist/philosopher Aristotle is credited for being the first to investigate the phenomenon.
In an apocryphal tale (the historical equivalent of an urban legend) while pondering how to tell whether a crown was made from gold or some other less-precious metal, he noticed that his body displaced an equal amount of water out of the bathtub. The discovery so moved him that he ran naked through the streets, shouting, "Eureka! Eureka!"

Which property of an object determine the strength of the buoyant force acting on the object in a fluid?
Mass
How could you determine buoyant force?
The bouyant force acts in an upward direction against gravity. It keeps things from sinking.
What is the relationship between buoyant force and gravity?
buoyant force is always or equal to the force exerted by gravity. that's why an object floats.
What is the relationship of buoyant force and density of liquid?
Buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. as the density of the liquid increases, the Buoyant force increases.
To determine an object's buoyant force you use?
it means you are a stupid head and if you dont get out of here then you are going to get slaped to death in a minute.
How displacement is used to determine buoyant force?
it is added by the principle of science and the the eonomy is the bouyant force of the education

Is the buoyant force of a metal equal to the buoyant force of a wood that has the same mass?
Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.
What is an buoyant force?
A buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid being displaced
What is the relationship of buoyant force and density of liquid?
Buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. as the density of the liquid increases, the Buoyant force increases.
Does the bouyant force on a submerged object depend on the weight of the object?
No, but the difference between the buoyant force and the weight of the object will determine whether it floats or sinks.
What is the relationships between force and pressure?
Archimedes a Greek mathematician who lived in third century, dicovered how to determine buoyant force.Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces.Buoyant force is the upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating on a liquid.
To determine an object's buoyant force you use?
it means you are a stupid head and if you dont get out of here then you are going to get slaped to death in a minute.
How can you determine the buoyant force for an object that sinks?
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the sinking object. This can be determined by finding the product of the liquid's density, the volume displaced, and the gravitational acceleration (which is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared).
What are the factors of buoyant force?
The buoyant force depends on the volume of liquid displaced and the density of the liquid.
