The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is caused by the
pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object. To overcome the gravitational force, the buoyant force acts in the upward direction. The larger pressure
at greater depth pushes upward on the object.

Who invented the flotation process?
Archimedes of Syracuse, (Ancient Greek) did.Archimedes' principle is a law of physics stating that the upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid the body displaces.
What types of forces act on structures?
external force and internal force
Why do roofs blow off during a tornado?
There are a few mechanisms. First, the wind going over the upward-pointing roof creates and upward force owing to Bernoulli's principle. The wind may also catch the roof under the eaves or cause a gable to fall inward and pick up the roof from below.
How does the helicopter get its lifting force?
the helicopter pushes forward when the pilot pushes the cyclic control forward. that rotates the blades forward . while pushing forward on the cyclic, the pilot must also pull up on the collective control. that will add pitch to the blades, thrusting the helicopter forward.
What is the force exerted by the Tacoma narrows bridge?
the force was torsion. the wind made it bend like silly puddy ************** The force exerted TO the Tacoma narrows bridge was initially the wind resistance. The wind resistance caused the whole bridge to act as a system with forced vibration with damping.
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
Which direction does a buoyant force act in?
A buoyant force is produced when an object is completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest .
Does the buoyant force act in all ways?
No buoyant force would act only in the upward direction against the weight of the body as it gets immersed in the liquid.
What is the upward force in the liquid?
The Buoyant Force
Which term describes the upward push of a fluid on an object in the fluid?
the 'buoyant' force
An upward force on an object immersed in a fluid?
Buoyant force
Why does a buoyant force act on every object in Fluid?
Buoyant force is defined as the upward force exerted by a liquid, gas or other fluid, that opposes the weight of an immersed object. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the objects. Because all of the objects displace the fluid, buoyant force acts on all of them.
What is ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object?
Buoyant force.
What is the ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object.?
Buoyant force.
What is the upward force that acts on an object that is submerged in a fluid?
buoyant force
What is true about the buoyant force?
it acts in an upward motion?/
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.
