When a solid body is totally immersed in a fluid, the upthrust is equal to the weight of fluid displaced. This weight is the volume of the solid body times the density of the fluid. Fluids of different densities will produce different upthrusts.
Note. If the body is floating on the surface of the fluid, the upthrust does not depend on the density of the fluid. The floating solid will sink into the fluid until the upthrust exactly equals its weight, then it won't sink any deeper. In flotation the buoyancy force always equals the weight of the body, whatever the fluid's density.

Two waves have the same fetch and were created by winds of equal speed why might one wave be higher than the other?
There are many possible reasons. Some are: They could be in different fluids. The fluids could be flowing in different directions. The depths of the fluids (and slope of the beds) could be different.
What causes an object to float or sink?
If you put something in water it'll float because it has air in it and air is lighter then water causing it to float.It'll will sink because it might have no air in it or it might have a hole in it causing water to go to in the object and pull it into the body of water surrounding the object.answered by Richardy14( sometimes the object might have air in it but the object might be too heavy causing the object to sink)objects that will not float unless you do something to it:heavy metala pianoa couchand many moreThe density of the object causes it to sink or float. Density is the amount of matter or particles in a certain are. Water is 1/ml. If an object is less dense then water say 0.012g/cm3 it will float if it is more say 1.12g/cm3 is sinks in water. g ml cm3 all convert and equal the same
What is the law of buoyancy?
Buoyancy is the rising of an object through a liquid such as water due to the object being less dense than the liquid. Density is the the mass of an object divided by its volume. Density is often expressed in grams/cm³. For a full explanation of how the buoyancy principle works go to the related question "What is the buoyancy principle?" in the Related Questions section below.
What might happen when unbalanced forces act on a car?
The unbalanced force would build acceleration.
Can sperm go through pants?
The body fluids that contain sperm can soak into fabric and the sperm might be able to find their way through but it is not very likely.

What is neutral buoyancy and how might it be a survival mechanism?
Neutral buoyancy is the ability to float under water. This allows the animal to save energy.
Why can't power steering fluid be substituted for brake fluid?
The fluids can be a different viscosity or have a different make up. The steering system might not operate correctly, or could be damaged.
On which factor buoyancy depends for a given body?
Depends on the weight of water. Salted water being heavier ,it will offer more resistance to any floating object. Also the atmospheric pressure might play an important role in the buoyancy.
How can you replenish both carbohydrates and fluids in your body?
water might be the best choice.

How might the addition of IV fluids stabilize blood pressure?
By giving IV fluids you increase the volume of fluid that the heart has to circulate thus increasing the blood pressure.
Although forces in the foreign environment are the same as those in the domestic environment they operate differently Why is this so?
Forces in the foreign environment might be the same, but the laws regarding employment are different. This is what allows businesses to operate differently in foreign lands.
Why are model ships made?
Model ships are made to test buoyancy and to scale out the ship. If the model doesn't work, the ship might not work.
When is the net force equal to the sum of the individual forces?
That's the definition of "net force", so you might say "always". This refers to forces acting on the same object. If there are time-varying forces, the answer might be never!
