thumb|The forces at work in buoyancy. The object floats at rest because the upward force of buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity.
AI overview
Buoyancy is an upward force that acts on objects in water or other fluids, and it matters because when this force equals the downward pull of gravity, an object can float at rest instead of sinking. Understanding buoyancy is important for explaining why some things float while others sink, and how ships and submarines are designed to stay afloat.
