Buoyancy wasn't invented by anyone, but it was first discovered by Archimedes. He never considered about buoyancy until one day, he had to help the King solve a problem, which got him stirred about buoyancy.
Bouyancy has always been around. Archimedes simply understood it when he saw the bath water rise as he got in the bath.
As the story goes, the king wanted to know if the goldsmith alloyed some silver in with his crown, and asked Archimedes to find out. Archimedes thought about this and one day discerned the principle at the bath. It is claimed that he jumped out and ran back to him home naked shouting Eureka!
He took a lump of gold with the same mass as the crown, and a lump of silver the same mass as the crown. He then measured the displacement of water by the gold, by the crown, and by the silver. He discovered that the crown displaced more than the gold, but less than the silver. He concluded that the crown was not pure gold, and must therefore have been alloyed with silver. The king promptly executed the goldsmith.

Was buoyancy always called buoyancy?
yes, it is the same.
Could you find a scientific sentence with the word buoyancy?
We are merely testing the buoyancy of several types of ping pong balls.
How do you use buoyancy?
Buoyancy is what keeps a boat floating on the top of the water. Buoyancy is what makes a helium balloon float in the air.
What is zero percent buoyancy?
Zero percent buoyancy is actually just sinking. Something that sunk is having zero percent buoyancy
What are facts about buoyancy?
buoyancy has to deal with density, gravity, air, and water
Who invented the buoyancy force?
This is a force of nature and not invented.
Who invented buoyancy force?
This is a force of nature and not invented.
Who established the principle of buoyancy?
People knew that some things floated in water long before writing was invented. The first person to establish the rule that controlled buoyancy was Archimedes.
Who invented the air mattress?
The air mattress was invented by Tim Leatherman in 1889. It is an inflatable mattress or sleeping pad. It has high buoyancy as well.
What affect provided by water aerobics helps make the exercise beneficial?
Buoyancy
What kind of buoyancy do submarines have when they are resting on the surfce of the ocean?
Positive Buoyancy. When submarine submerges, it initially uses negative buoyancy to submerge, and then levels out to neutral buoyancy.
What does buoyancy help with?
High buoyancy=easy to float
Does freshwater have buoyancy?
Yes, all fluids have buoyancy.
Was buoyancy always called buoyancy?
yes, it is the same.
Could you find a scientific sentence with the word buoyancy?
We are merely testing the buoyancy of several types of ping pong balls.
When was buoyancy found?
The phenomena of buoyancy was first discovered by Archimedes.
How can buoyancy be demonstrated?
buoyancy can be demonstrated if you float something because buoyancy is when something floats for example a boat floating in water
