How to Evaluate Buoyant Force given Bottom and Top Force?

Buoyant Force given Bottom and Top Force evaluator uses Buoyant Force = Bottom Force-Top Force to evaluate the Buoyant Force, The Buoyant Force given Bottom and Top Force formula is defined as the difference between Net downward force and net upward force. It is a common experience that an object feels lighter and weighs less in a liquid than it does in air. This can be demonstrated easily by weighing a heavy object in water by a waterproof spring scale. Also, objects made of wood or other light materials float on water. These and other observations suggest that a fluid exerts an upward force on a body immersed in it. This force that tends to lift the body is called the buoyant force. The buoyant force is caused by the increase of pressure with depth in a fluid. Thus, we conclude that the buoyant force acting on the plate is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the plate. For a fluid with constant density, the buoyant force is independent of the distance of the body from the free surface. It is also independent of the density of the solid body. Buoyant Force is denoted by Fbuoyant symbol.
