Best Answer

Buoyancy is the capacity of a fluid to exert an upward thrust of a body emerged into it.And,up thrust is a vertical force.So basically buoyancy and up thrust are same..

Why the center of pressure of a submerged body lies below the center of gravity?

The upward thrust which the surrounding fluid exerts on an object is referred to as the force of buoyancy. This thrust acts through the centroid of the displaced volume, referred to as the centre of buoyancy. The centre of buoyancy is not the same as the centre of gravity which relates to the distribution of weight within the object. If the object is a solid with a uniform density exactly the same as water and the body is immersed in water the force of buoyancy will be exactly equal to the weight and the centre of buoyancy will be the same as the centre of gravity. The object will be in equilibrium with the surrounding fluid.

What is buoyancy force?

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