The buoyant force is a contact force, exerted by contact with a liquid that displaces the liquid within a gravity field. No contact, no force.
Contact forces are forces that act at a point of contact between two objects. Buoyant force is an example of a contact force.
Upthrust is a contact force :)
Upthrust is a Contact Force. :)
Yes, there is a buoyant force acting on you when you are submerged in a fluid. However, whether you float or sink depends on the relationship between the buoyant force and your weight. If the buoyant force is greater than your weight, you will float; if it is less, you will sink.
Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.
buoyant force
The force opposing the buoyant force is the force of gravity. Gravity pulls objects downward, creating a force that must be overcome by the buoyant force in order for an object to float in a fluid.
A buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid being displaced
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a liquid is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. The density of the liquid affects the buoyant force as denser liquids will exert a greater buoyant force on an object compared to less dense liquids.

The buoyant force is what causes and object to float. If the buoyant force is less than the object weight, it sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the objects weight, it rises to the top. If it is equal, the object will float in the middle, neither rising or falling.
The buoyant force exerted on an object immersed in a liquid is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. The buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. Therefore, the denser the liquid, the greater the buoyant force it exerts on the object.
