Buoyant force.

The buoyant force is the net upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged or immersed object.

Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

An object will float in a fluid if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the object's weight.

The force that helps objects float is called buoyancy. It occurs when the upward force acting on an object in a fluid (such as water or air) is greater than the downward force of gravity, allowing the object to float.
