Does the boyancy forces made on an object depend on weight of object, weight of fluids? Depend on weight of object or its volume?

Question

osanseviero · Answer

Searching I found that weight of fluid...but does the density play a role here?

xishem · Answer

You may know Archimedes' Principle:

"Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object."

osanseviero · Answer

So the weight is just the essential?

xishem · Answer

Well, only the volume of the object matters (changing its weight won't affect the buoyancy forces upon it).

And the weight of the fluid matters, but the weight of the fluid is directly related to its weight (mass, really).
