Explanation
A buoyant force always acts on objects immersed or floating in a fluid. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object and acts through the center of buoyancy. The center of buoyancy corresponds to the centroid of the displaced fluid volume and is located below the center of gravity of that fluid, not above it. Additionally, the relative density of liquids can be determined by observing the hydrometer's depth of flotation.
