There are several answering services that also have this question or similar ones on it. From answerbag.com, the question asked was: what is upthrust?
The answers were:
* Upthrust is the upward force exerted on an object in a fluid. It arises as a result of the difference in pressure exerted by the fluid on the surface of the object at different depth. * Up thrust is the force that pushes objects up and makes them seem to loose weight in a fluid (note - a fluid means a liquid or gas) When you are standing on the ground gravity keeps you down but upthrust stops you from falling into the earths core. In a way upthrust makes things hard!! Because if it didn't exist solids wouldn't be solid.An objects density effects how it floats. * Density = Mass * ------- * Volume * Upthrust is also called buoyancy. It is the upward force produced on an object in a fluid (such as air or water). The force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If that weight is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float in the fluid. If it is equal, it will sit suspended. If it is less, it will sink, but the object will weigh less than it would in a vacuum. Hence, it is easier to pick up a heavy object in water than in air - the amount of displaced water weighs more than the equivalent volume of air, therefore water produces a greater upthrust.
In wiki answers the question asked was:
= What does upthrust mean? = The answer was: Upthrust is a type of force that pushes upwards
The force upthrust is opposite to gravity. It pulls something up instead of down. For instance if you had a toy bird on a spring attached to the ceiling and pull it down it would bouce back up. That's upthrust
Yes! Also force of friction, gravity, magnetic force , surface tension and electric force! All these are forces! e.g (example) of upthrust; A piece of wood floats on water. It's kept up by a force called upthrust. The force is produced by water pushing on the wood from underneath.
'Upthrust' is a force.
"Force" can have any direction. When its direction is upward, then it may be
an upthrust ... you'd have to check further and see what's causing the force.
Weight is your mass and upthrust is the force that pushes you up in water.
by adding the values
change in pressure
Frictional force
Certain things float in water because their density is less than the density of water. If something experiences more upthrust in water than its weight(upthrust>weight) or upthrust=weight, then it floats in water.
no because the more water cancels out the amount upthrust trying to lift it
Pascal is the s.i unit of upthrust
No, it has never erupted. It is an isolated upthrust peak due to geologic compression.
Mount Diablo is an isolated upthrust peak, that was formed by geologic compression.

Upthrust, I don't understand what you mean...
Upthrust is a Contact Force. :)
upthrust is a scalar or vector
it provides 30 upthrust .
upthrust means the force that keeps the force up
Upthrust is a contact force :)
Upthrust cancels weight out, weight is there but you do not feel it.
upthrust works by if you put a counter in a jug of waser slowley it should work because gravity and upthrust both together is equal so that's how it works its equal !!!
upthrust is noting but the power of water that is used to push a thing in water
Upthrust is a force that pushes things up in water
Upthrust,or lift, is created under the wing when the aircraft moves forward.
