Buoyancy vs. Density

Buoyancynoun

(physics) The upward force on a body immersed or partly immersed in a fluid.

Buoyancynoun

The ability of an object to stay afloat in a fluid.

Buoyancynoun

(by extension) Resilience or cheerfulness.

Buoyancynoun

The property of floating on the surface of a liquid, or in a fluid, as in the atmosphere; specific lightness, which is inversely as the weight compared with that of an equal volume of water.

Buoyancynoun

The upward pressure exerted upon a floating body by a fluid, which is equal to the weight of the body; hence, also, the weight of a floating body, as measured by the volume of fluid displaced.

Buoyancynoun

Cheerfulness; vivacity; liveliness; sprightliness; - the opposite of heaviness; as, buoyancy of spirits.

Buoyancynoun

cheerfulness that bubbles to the surface

Buoyancynoun

the property of something weightless and insubstantial

Buoyancynoun

irrepressible liveliness and good spirit;

Buoyancy

Buoyancy (), or upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.

Densitynoun

(physics) A measure of the mass of matter contained by a unit volume.

Densitynoun

The ratio of one quantity to another quantity.

Densitynoun

The probability that an event will occur, as a function of some observed variable.

Densitynoun

The quality of being dense, close, or thick; compactness; - opposed to rarity.

Densitynoun

The ratio of mass, or quantity of matter, to bulk or volume, esp. as compared with the mass and volume of a portion of some substance used as a standard.

Densitynoun

Depth of shade.

Densitynoun

the amount per unit size

Densitynoun

the spatial property of being crowded together

Density

The density (more precisely, the volumetric mass density; also known as specific mass), of a substance is its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used.
