All about Buoyant Force
Buoyant force is an upward push from a liquid or gas that helps objects float. The size of the force depends on how much fluid an object pushes out of the way. An object floats if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in.
A huge steel ship floats because its hull is shaped to push away a large volume of water. The buoyant force from the water is equal to the weight of the ship.
