the buoyant force is equal to the loss in the weight of object in water or the buoyant force is equal to the liquid displayed
i.e. f=ma. (acceleration is due to gravity so in place of a we write g)
f=vdg. (d=m/v or m=vd)
where f(b) is the buoyant force v is the volume of liquid displaced d is the density of liquid and g is acceleration due to gravity

For a floating body, the buoyant force is the force acting vertically upwards. both weight of body and buoyant force are related as buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body so,only that much portion of body will immerse by which the weight of liquid displaced balances the total weight of body.
