The upward force is what's called the "buoyant force". It's exactly the weight of the fluid
that would be in the space occupied by the object if the object were not there.
What is the object doing ?
Is it sinking ?
Then the buoyant force is less than the weight of the object. (A rock.)
Is it rising ?
Then the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object. (A Basketball forced
to the bottom of the pool and then released.)
Is it just hanging there ? (typically referred to as "floating")
Then the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the object. (A boat.)

∙ 15y agoThe upward force acting on objects in water is called bouyancy. Buoyancy is why ice floats in water. Because of bouyancy force, objects seem lighter than what they really weigh.

What is upward force of a fluid on an object?
buoyancy
An upward force on an object immersed in a fluid?
Buoyant force
What is boyant force?
Bouyant Force-is the upward force on a object in a fluid exerted by the surrounding fluid .
What does buyoncy mean?
upward acting force exerted by a fluid , that opposes an object's weight
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 is a upward force exerted on objects in a fluid?
The upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is buoyancy.
What makes poo sink or float?
Buoyancy, which is an upward acting force exerted by a fluid , that opposes an object's weight.
What is the upwars force acting on an object?
The upward force acting on an object is the normal force. It is equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction to the object's weight.
What is upward force of a fluid on an object?
buoyancy
An upward force on an object immersed in a fluid?
Buoyant force
What is boyant force?
Bouyant Force-is the upward force on a object in a fluid exerted by the surrounding fluid .
When the buoyant force on a submerged object is more than the weight of the object?
The net force on the object is upward, so the object accelerates upward in the fluid.
What is the upward force exerted by a fluid on any object in the fluid?
it is a air
What is upward force exerted by a fluid on any object in the fluid?
it is a air
Why is there an upward force on objects in fluid?
Gravity pulls both the fluid and the submerged object downward. The difference between the gravitational attractive forces on the fluid and the submerged object describes the upward (buoyant) force that the fluid exerts on the object.
