A block of plastic released under water comes up to the surface of water because the buoyant force (upthrust ) acting on the block of plastic due to water is greater than its weight . The buoyant force is greater because the density of water is greater than the density of plastic.


Buoyant force:

Upward force acting on an object immersed in a liquid is called buoyant force .
The upward force exerted by a liquid is also known as upthrust.

As we lower an object into a liquid the greater upward pressure of liquid underneath it provides an upward force called the buoyant force or upthrust.
