When an object is immersed in liquid then an equal volume of liquid would be displaced to the upper surface. The weight of this expelled liquid would be used as a force to push up the immersed object. Hence it is named as upthrust or buoyant force

What are factors affecting upthrust?

upthrust=buoyant force=weight of the body immersed in d liquid so gravity and mass is a cause of upthrust as weight of a body=mass* gravity


What is the difference between thrust and upthrust?

Thrust is the only perpendicular force but upthrust is the force which act on a body when is in drown vessel


Why is the upthrust not dependent on mass of liquid?

The buoyant force depends on the volume and density of the displaced liquid.


How strong is buoyant force?

It depends on Boyle's Law - the upthrust depends on the weight of fluid displaced. Law - the upthrust equals the weight of fluid displaced.


Will a submarine sink or float when its weight is greater than the upthrust acting on it?

When the weight of any object surrounded by fluid is greater than the buoyant force on it, it sinks. (The buoyant force is just the weight of the fluid that would be in that space if the submerged object were not there.)
