N o! the upthrust can not act at a distance because it acts on the centre of gravity of the object submerged in water in the opposite direction of weight.

Is weight an upthrust?

Weight is a force acting downwards on an object due to gravity, while upthrust (buoyant force) is a force acting upwards on an object immersed in a fluid. These two forces act in opposite directions but are not the same. Weight depends on the mass and gravity, while upthrust depends on the volume of the object displaced in the fluid.

Is upthrust a scalar quantity?

No, upthrust is not a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. Upthrust is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it, and its direction is always opposite to the direction of gravity.
