Non-buoyancy means that an object does not float (I think).

'Buoyancy' is the ability to float.

Remember Archimedes Principle ; ' The weight of body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced' .

So for buoyancy , if an object is put into water and it floats, then its weight is less than the displaced water.

If a body sinks it is heavier that the displaced water. Experiment; take an house brick, tie it with a piece of string on the the end of a spring balance. In the air it will weigh say 3 kilos. However, when placed in water, the apparent weight will fall to say 2 kilos. The remaining 1 kilos is the mass of the displaced water.
