Buoyancy refers to the ability of an object to float or remain suspended in a fluid, such as water. Buoyancy is also the lifting power that an object experiences when it is immersed in a fluid. For instance, a large cruise ship can displace a massive amount of water due to its buoyancy, allowing it to float and carry passengers.
