- 21:1921:19, 9 May 2024 diff hist +4 Buoyancy Added a link to centrifugal force. current
- 21:1321:13, 9 May 2024 diff hist +228 Buoyancy Did some reformatting, added a few extra changes to the explanation of buoyancy as an "apparent" force.
- 21:0621:06, 9 May 2024 diff hist +22 Buoyancy I added that buoyancy is a gravitational force, and not simply a force on its own, in the same way that centrifugal force is an inertial force, and not a force on its own. Buoyancy does not exist without gravity, objects do not naturally separate themselves out by density. Gravity is the only force driving buoyancy.
- 20:5920:59, 9 May 2024 diff hist +228 Buoyancy I have added the line "Buoyancy is a function of the forces of gravity on objects of different densities, and for that reason is considered an apparent force, in the same way that centrifugal force is an apparent force as a function of inertia."
