Question:

What is upthrust/buoyant force?

Author: Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt



Answer:

If an object is placed in water, when the depth of water increases, the pressure increases. Since the bottom of the object is deeper than the top, the pressure at the bottom will be bigger than the pressure at the top, resulting in a resultant force upwards.
