According to , any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest is acted upon by an upward or buoyant force whose magnitude is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.

Loss in weight of body = Weight of water (liquid) displaced by the body = Buoyant force or upthrust exerted by water (any liquid) on the body.
Hence, the buoyant force on a submerged object equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
