the buoyant force of an object which is submerged in water or any fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object.
why? the buoyant force goes up, and the gravitational pull goes down.

why? the buoyant force goes up, and the gravitational pull goes down.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object is submerged in a liquid, the uphill force on the floor of an object is larger than the downward force on the top of the object. The buoyant force is a consequence of pressure exercised by the fluid.
