What to Focus On

  • Upthrust is an upward force due to a fluid.
  • Buoyancy is the property of a liquid to exert upward force.
  • A body floats when W = F_B.

  • F_B' > W means the body floats.
  • F_B' = W means the body floats fully submerged.
  • F_B' < W means the body sinks.

  • Upthrust is caused by pressure difference in a fluid.
  • Pressure is greater at greater depth.
  • Side thrusts cancel each other.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A body floats whenever it is lighter than water.

Upthrust depends on the weight of the body alone.

Archimedes' principle says the upthrust is equal to the weight of the body.
