Detailed Solution

The tendency of liquid to exert an upward force on an object is called buoyancy.
When an object is placed in liquid, then the upward force acts on the object by a liquid. The tendency of liquid to exert upward force is called buoyancy. When an object is placed on the surface of a liquid, it sinks or floats depending upon the density of the object. If an object has a higher density than liquid, then it sinks, and similarly, if the density of an object is less than that of liquid, it floats on the surface of a liquid.
