What is bouyancy force always equal to?
Buoyancy force or upthrust must be equal to the weight of the object for the object to stay afloat. If the weight is greater than the upthrust, the object would sink.
The force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object?
Upthrust.
What is cause of upthrust force?
It is when an object floats due to balanced force between upthrust of the fluid (pushing upwards) and weight of the object (pushing downwards).
Does upthrust reduces the weight of an object?
No, the weight and upthrust are two different forces acting on an object. If both weight and upthrust are acting on an object, the total resultant force is the two added together, but weight is solely a product of the mass (which remains unchanged, unless you take into account special relativity, but I'm guessing we're not in this instance) and acceleration acting on the given object, which remains the same.
What is the effect of water on object submerged in water?
It is named as buoyant force which always acts in the upward direction ie opposite to the weight of the body. So actual weight appears to be reduced. Hence apparent weight loss
What happens to the body when the upthrust is less than the weight of the object'?
An object that is COMPLETELY submerged in water has its Upthrust equal its weight, but it doesn't necessarily float, an object could be at the rock-bottom of the ocean, and it would still have its upthrust equal to its weight. This is because the upthrust is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, and so while the objects volume remains constant, and assuming the density of the fluid it displaces is constant.. The upthrust remains constant, this is unless the object compresses and has its density altered.. I know I didn't directly answer your question, but I hope this helps.. Even if a little.

The gravitational force exerted on an object?
Is called upthrust it represents you doing something and the weight of upthrust pulling you up

An object will float in water if it weighs?
a weight equal to the upthrust of the water
What is upthurst?
This is the name given to a bouyancey force. When an object diplaces a fluid, the amount of upthrust received is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced. When an object is floating then the upthrust is equal to the objects weight. When more people get on to a boat, the boat sinks further into the water, displacing more water so that the upthrust increases to balance the new weight. If an object sinks then the amount of upthrust it receives is less than the weight so the object falls. Just because it sinks doesn't mean that there is no upthrust, there is. This is why heavy objects appear lighter if you place them in water.
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
Can upthrust act at a distance?
N o! the upthrust can not act at a distance because it acts on the centre of gravity of the object submerged in water in the opposite direction of weight.
What is apparent weight?
Apparent weight of an object is the weight of an object when the object is partially or totally immersed in a fluid{liquid/gas} normally apparent weight of an object is less than the real weight of an object due to an upward force {upthrust} which is produced by the pressure difference inside the fluids.
