= Neutral buoyancy
{wiki=Neutral_buoyancy}
Neutral buoyancy is a state in which an object neither sinks nor rises when submerged in a fluid. This occurs when the buoyant force (the upward force exerted by the fluid) acting on the object equals the weight of the object (the downward force due to gravity). In practical terms, when an object is neutrally buoyant, it will remain suspended at a specific depth in the fluid without ascending to the surface or descending to the bottom.
