The upward force on objects in a fluid is called buoyant force, or buoyancy. Buoyancy is directly related to the mass of liquid displaced by a certain object. Therefore: Fbuoyancy = ρVg where ρ is the density of the fluid, V is the volume of the displaced fluid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. For an object to stay afloat, the buoyant force it experiences must be greater than its weight, which is provided by Fw = mg, where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity. An intuitive way of saying this is that to stay afloat in a certain liquid, the mass of the fluid displaced by the object must be greater then the mass of the object.

What is the upward force that water exerts on objects?
buoyancy is the upward force that water exerts on an object. :)
What is the name given to the force caused by water which keeps boats afloat?
This is a very good question,actually the force work on water has two names buontforce and upward force
What is the upward force of water or air that keeps an object afloat?
The upward force provided by water is called the buoyant force. Also known as the buoyancy force. Because of buoyant force, objects seem lighter in water.
What is the force in water which pushes upward?
Buoyancy
The upward force exerted on an object that is immersed in water is known as?
buoyant force
What is an upward force exerted by water and other fluids?
The upward force exerted by fluids is called buoyancy. It is dependent on the weight of the object in question.
The upward force on a boat floating on water is called?
It's called the buoyancy force.
What is the upward force exerted on a body by that into which it is immersed?
When a body is immersed in water , due to pressure difference between upper surface and lower surface of the body an unbalanced upward force acts on a body . This unbalanced upward force is called Buoyancy force
Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
The greater the pressure against the bottom of a submerged object produces an upward buoyant force
What is the property of water to move upward against the gravitational force?
capillary
Is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity?
Lift is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity.
An upward force on a plane is called?
'Lift' is an upward force on a plane. Upward force on a bird's wings is also called 'Lift'.
