Physics Notes

The upthrust force, also known as buoyancy, is generated by the fluid displaced by an object, pushing upward on it. The magnitude of upthrust is determined by the weight of the displaced fluid, which increases with the object's volume. Therefore, a larger object displaces more fluid, resulting in greater upthrust.

Archimedes
The upthrust force is caused by the fluid that has been
displaced (pushed out of the way) by the object. The
fluid pushes on the object creating an upward force,
called upthrust. This force is responsible for buoyancy.

The amount of upthrust depends on the weight of fluid


displaced. Increasing the volume of the object will
increase the weight of displaced fluid and increase the
upthrust.
