Buoyancy occurs due to the difference in pressure exerted by a fluid on an object submerged in it. When an object is placed in a fluid, it displaces a volume of that fluid; if the weight of the fluid displaced is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float. This principle is described by Archimedes' principle, which states that the upward buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Thus, the material properties and shape of the object determine its buoyancy in a given fluid.
