I'm looking at a question in a grade 8 science textbook.
It asks what would happen to the buoyancy force if gravity was increased or decreased. I.e. is buoyancy different on other planets?
Since the buoyancy force is a factor of pressure differentials due to the weight of the fluid, therefore I believe the buoyancy force would increase if gravity increased. But is it proportional to the increase in the weight of an object?
