Is it be possible for the buoyancy force be greater than the object's mass? when can it be?

As a matter of fact, at the very bottom of big boats is where the heaviest equipment and fuel are kept, for stability. Otherwise, anywhere below the water line of a boat, where there is nothing but air (ie, in the middle of a corridor or room), that air is where water could have been, so it contributes to buoyancy.noagname said:as far as i know
well in the big boats they keep some type of air at the bottom of the boat so that there is more bouncy so in other words i think so
Buoyancy is the upward force experienced by an object when it is submerged in a fluid, such as water or air. This force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid and helps objects float or sink in the fluid.
Buoyancy is directly related to the force and mass of an object. The greater the force applied to an object, the greater its mass and therefore its buoyancy. However, buoyancy can also be affected by the density and shape of an object.
No, force cannot be greater than mass in terms of buoyancy. This is because the buoyant force is determined by the weight of the displaced fluid, which is equal to the weight of the object. Therefore, the force cannot be greater than the mass of the object.
The density of an object is a key factor in determining its buoyancy. Objects with lower densities than the fluid they are submerged in will experience a greater buoyant force and float, while objects with higher densities will sink. This is why objects made of lighter materials, like wood or plastic, tend to float in water.
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This means that the more fluid an object displaces, the greater its buoyant force will be. This principle helps to explain why some objects float while others sink, based on their densities and the amount of fluid they displace.
