Upthrust (Buoyant Force) = ρ * V * g
Where:
- Upthrust (Buoyant Force) is the force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas) that opposes the weight of the object and pushes it upward.
- ρ (rho) is the density of the fluid in which the object is immersed.
- V is the volume of the fluid displaced by the object (the volume of the portion of the fluid that the object occupies).
- g is the acceleration due to gravity.
