Solution

The buoyant force is the upward force exerted on an object wholly or partly immersed in a fluid.
This upward force is also called Upthrust.
Due to the buoyant force, a body submerged partially or fully in a fluid appears to lose its weight, i.e. appears to be lighter.
Hence,The upward force experienced by a body immersed partially or fully in a fluid is called buoyant force.
