Buoyancy: The upward force caused by water or air resulting in a floating object.
AIR/WATER PRESSURE
Air/Water Pressure: The outward force caused by contained water or air.
TENSION/ELASTIC
Tension/Elastic: A force caused by string, spring, or rope.
NORMAL FORCES
Normal forces: The force perpendicular to an objects surface that results in support.
CONTACT FORCES
