That property of an object that enables it to float on the surface of a liquid, or as in the case with air parcels, to ascend and remain freely suspended in the atmosphere
irrepressible liveliness and good spirit; "I admired his bouyancy and persistent good humor"
The upward pressure exerted upon a floating body by a fluid, which is equal to the weight of the body; hence, also, the weight of a floating body, as measured by the volume of fluid displaced
What, in a sea kayak, there is never enough of (When the compartments of a sea kayak are not filled with gear they should be filled with buoyancy material ) All canoes and kayaks must have sufficient buoyancy material so that they float level at the surface when swamped
the net upward force experienced by a body immersed in a fluid of different density in the presence of a hydrostatic pressure gradient
The property of floating on the surface of a liquid, or in a fluid, as in the atmosphere; specific lightness, which is inversely as the weight compared with that of an equal volume of water
The ability for an object to be lifted up, or to float, because of the greater density of the liquid it is in
The upward force exerted on an object in liquid, whether the object sinks or floats Objects that float are positively buoyant, those that sink are negatively buoyant and those that stay where placed are neutrally buoyant
The resultant upward forces, exerted by the water on a submerged or floating body, equal to the weight of the water displaced by this body
the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object less dense than itself Hydrodynamics: the motion of liquids, usually water, around solid objects Positive buoyancy: the tendency of an object to rise in a fluid because the object weighs less than the fluid it displaces
The apparent loss of weight of an object immersed in a fluid If the object is floating, the immersed portion displaces a volunme of fluid the weight of which is equal to the weight of the object
