The buoyant force is equal to the 'weight' of liquid that is displaced, which depends on the volume of liquid that is displaced, the density of the liquid, and gravitational acceleration, not the weight of the body.

What happens if buoyancy is greater or lesser?

The object will float or sink.


What causes the buoyancy to increase or decrease?

Buoyancy force come from difference in density of the object and the surrounding. Buoyancy of the ship can change from the pay load inside its' space. More load per space reduce the buoyancy. For Balloon, buoyancy is change by increase temperature of gas inside to balloon since increase in temperature would cause gas to expand and had lesser density in its' cavity. In general, buoyancy increase or decrease by changing of density of the object or the surrounding medium.


Tell a little about buoyancy?

Buoyancy is the upward force on an object produced by surrounding liquids or gas in which it's immersed due to pressure difference of the fluid between the top and bottom of the object. (ability of an object to float in a liquid) (upward force that keeps an object afloat) For an object to float it needs to have a lesser density then water If an object weighs more than it's buoyancy it sinks, if it weighs less, it floats.


Why is the magnitude of buoyancy force on a metal cylinder that is fully immerse in less dense fluid is lesser than if it is fully immerse in water?

because things that are fully sick sink :P this happens because the magnitude of buoyancy is dependent on the volume of the object and the density of the liquid. Since the liquid is less dense, the buoyant force is reduced.

yes because you'll weigh lesser on the moon then on earth


What is the definition of overweight?

"Overweight" means weighing (having body mass) more than is healthy; more than the norm. The amount at which "overweight" begins will depend on your height and body-type, and to a lesser degree on other factors too.

Which heavenly bodies are involved in causing the Earth's tides?

The moon and the sun are the two main celestial bodies that cause the Earth's tides. The gravitational pull of the moon is the primary force behind ocean tides, while the sun's pull also contributes to a lesser extent.
