The gravitational force of the Earth is acting on all objects, then why don't all objects fall to the bottom? Class 8

Answer:

Gravity pulls everything down, but water pushes up too.

  1. This upward push is called buoyant force.
  2. If the buoyant force is strong enough, it can balance gravity and keep the object floating.
