Buoyancy

Buoyancy is defined as force exerted by the fluid in upward direction on the immersed body. It is denoted by ‘B’ or FB. SI unit of buoyancy is N

Buoyancy is depend on differences between pressure acting of different sides of immersed body.
Archimedes principle -   Archimedes principle states that magnitude of buoyant force is equal to weight of fluid it displaces

                                  B = ρ x g x V displaced


As per formula following factors affect on buoyancy.
I. Density of fluid
II. Volume of fluid displayed
III. Local acceleration due to gravity
