Buoyancy is the total upward force experienced by the object submersed in the fluid. Pascal's principle states that fluid pressure on an object rises with depth, thus there is a greater pressure on the bottom of object than the top, resultant in a total upward force. Whenever an object's buoyancy is bigger than its weight, then the object will float.
