Weight of the object - weight of fluid it displaces.
If the fluid is water and you are using a pure solid, not hollow, substance this is easily found by subtracting the densities of the two and multiply by its volume.

What is the bouyant force determined by?
The buoyant force is determined by the weight of the displaced fluid. The weight of the displaced fluid is in turn determined by the volume of the displaced fluid.
What is the relationship between buoyant force and gravity?
buoyant force is always or equal to the force exerted by gravity. that's why an object floats.
Is the buoyant force of a metal equal to the buoyant force of a wood that has the same mass?
Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.
What is an buoyant force?
A buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid being displaced
What is the relationship of buoyant force and density of liquid?
Buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. as the density of the liquid increases, the Buoyant force increases.
How can you determine the buoyant force for an object that sinks?
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the sinking object. This can be determined by finding the product of the liquid's density, the volume displaced, and the gravitational acceleration (which is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared).
What happens if the buoyant force decreases?
As buoyant force decreases then the body starts sinking down.
What are the factors of buoyant force?
The buoyant force depends on the volume of liquid displaced and the density of the liquid.
Which term describes the upward push of a fluid on an object in the fluid?
the 'buoyant' force
What is the relationship between density of a liquid and the buoyant force exerted on the mass?
buoyant force = density of the liquid*Volume*gravity. so the buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of a liquid.
Is buoyant force a contact force?
The buoyant force is a contact force, exerted by contact with a liquid that displaces the liquid within a gravity field. No contact, no force.
What is the upward force in the liquid?
The Buoyant Force
