Any object wholly or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upthrust equal in magnitude to the mass of the fluid displaced by that object. This is known as Archimedes' Principle. Archimedes also stated that for an object floating on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object.
a submerged object displaces liquid which is equal to its volume
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
A submerged object will displace its own volume of the liquid it is submerged in.

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.
Upthrust which is equal to weight of fluid displaced
The upward force exerted by a liquid on a submerged object (or even on a floating object) is called buoyancy.
When an object enters a liquid, this is the upward force.
An upward force acting on an object immersed in a liquid or gas. [NOT SOLID]
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
The definition for: Upthrust is a force that helps something float. An object that is partly, or completely, submerged experiences a greater pressure on its bottom surface than on its top surface.
It depends on the object's shape and its density and that of the liquid in which it is put.
