Best Answer

The Buoyant Force is the upward force exerted on an object submerged in water. Anything less dense than the liquid it is submerged in tends to float. Anything that is more dense than the liquid that it is in tends to sink.

What are the rules of buoyancy?

If the force of gravity is greater than the buoyant force, the object will sink. If the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity, the object will rise. If the force of gravity equals the buoyant force (neutral buoyancy), the object will float.
