Volume submerged (L)
Gravitational acceleration (m/s²)
Mass density fluid/gas (kg/m³)
Buoyancy:
The buoyancy of an object is equal to the density of the liquid or gas, multiplied by the volume of the submerged part of the object, and multiplied by the gravitational acceleration. At sea level, the gravitational acceleration is 9.80665 m/s². Freshwater has a density of approximately 1000 kg/m³ at 0 °C. To determine whether an object will rise, sink, or remain at rest, you must compare the buoyancy with the weight of the object. Both weight and buoyancy are given in Newtons (N). If the weight is greater than the buoyancy, the object sinks. If the weight is equal to the buoyancy, the object will remain at rest. If the weight is less than the buoyancy, the object will rise.
