Answer:
Buoyancy.
Explanation:
Buoyancy is a force created by the water that is displaced by an object. It is directly proportional to the amount of water that is being displaced by an object.
Hence, the greater the amount of water an object displaces; the greater is the force of buoyancy pushing the object up.
The buoyancy of an object is given by the formula;
[tex]Fb = pgV\\\\But, V = Ah\\\\Hence, Fb = pgAh[/tex]
Where;
Fb = buoyant force of a liquid acting on an object.
g = acceleration due to gravity.
p = density of the liquid.
v = volume of the liquid displaced.
h = height of liquid (water) displaced by an object.
A = surface area of the floating object.
The unit of measurement for the buoyancy of an object is Newton (N).
