why does a fluid provide buoyancy
The forces at work in buoyancy. Note that the object is floating because the upward force of buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity. In science, buoyancy ( /ËbÉÉª.Énsi, -Éntsi/ or /ËbuËjÉnsi, -jÉntsi/;) or upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.
