    w objects float on water or in the air.How does buoyancy work? Buoyancy is the upward forc. that fluids exert on an object that is less dense than itself. The Princ. d is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.1If you think back to the 100,000-ton boat, this means that the weight of the water displaced by the boat must be ...
