Open in App
Solution

Buoyancy: It is the phenomenon by which an object with lesser density than the liquid immersed will float in the fluid.

Buoyant force: It is the upward thrust on a body immersed in a fluid. This force is equal to the product of the volume of the fluid displaced, density of the fluid and the acceleration due to gravity.
