Buoyancy is the upward force a fluid exerts on a submerged or floating object, equal to the weight of fluid displaced (Archimedes' Principle). An object floats when buoyant force equals or exceeds its weight; it sinks when weight exceeds buoyant force.

- 1Buoyant force Fb = ρ_fluid × g × V_displaced
- 2ρ_fluid = fluid density (water = 1,000 kg/m³)
- 3g = gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s²)
- 4V_displaced = volume of fluid displaced (= object volume if fully submerged)
- 5Object floats if object density < fluid density
