Best Answer

Buoyant force is dependent on the density of the fluid. Since water is denser than air (by a lot), an object immersed in water will experience a much greater buoyant force than one surrounded entirely by air.

How is fluid used to lift heavy objects?

Water helps lift an objects via the buoyancy force. The buoyancy force is equal to the weight of water displaced by the volume of the submerged object. If this buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the object, the object will float in that position. If the object is completely submerged and the resulting buoyancy force is less than the weight of the object, it will continue to sink.


What is the force called that is exerted by a fluid that has objects immersed in it?

Buoyant force, buoyancy force, buoyancy.


What is buoyancy.?

Buoyancy is an upward acting force. It is caused by fluid preassure which opposes an objects weight ( their gravitational pull downwards ).


What is upward force of a fluid on an object?

buoyancy


What is a upward force exerted on objects in a fluid?

The upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is buoyancy.


What force most influences buoyancy force?

density of the buoyant fluid.


If there was no buoyancy in fluids would everything sink in fluid?

Buoyancy is not a characteristic of fluid but rather it is the upward force on the object that the fluid provides. The only way a fluid could have an effect similar to no buoyancy is if it couldn't provide an upward force great enough to provide the object to stay on top of the fluid.


What force is the upward force exerted on any object in a fluid?

The upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is buoyancy.


What if buoyancy is the property of matter that can be defined as?

Buoyancy is a force exerted by a fluid against an immersed object.


An upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object?

buoyancy


What is the upward force on an object submerged in a fluid called?

buoyancy


Does buoyancy work in space?

No chance of buoyancy force in free space. Buoyancy is the force is due to the weight of the expelled fluid when an object comes into that fluid. But in free space no material is present and so no expelling. Hence no buoyancy.
