This has been answered in a recent question.
The upward force equals the weight of the liquid that could have occupied the volume of the object below the surface.
If it were not so, then imagine what would happen if you could instantaneously remove the object and refill the space left with liquid ... that liquid would either sink or be ejected.
For a ship this upward force balances the total weight of the ship. The ship sinks deeper into the water until the volume below the surface represents an amount of water with the same weight as the ship.
So a ship floats deeper in water than it would in Mercury, because much less mercury needs to be displaced to match the ship's weight.

How much does one kilogram of feathers weigh in water?
That would depend on the buoyancy of the feathers.
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 two factors that depend buoyancy?
volume and weight
How much does one kilogram of feathers weigh in water?
That would depend on the buoyancy of the feathers.
What affect provided by water aerobics helps make the exercise beneficial?
Buoyancy
What controls buoyancy?
It is the ability for an object to float. Buoyancy determines if the object is able to float in the water or not.Buoyancy can not only happen in water, other fluids are not prohibited. Buoyancy can depend on the fluid's density.If something is not or barely able to float, it is less buoyant.If something can float with little or no effort, it is more buoyant.

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
