Introduction to Buoyant Force and Archimedes' Principle

When an object is submerged in a fluid (like water or air), the fluid exerts pressure on all surfaces of the object. Since pressure increases with depth, the pressure on the bottom of the object is greater than the pressure on the top. This difference in pressure creates an overall upward force, which we call buoyant force.
