What is Neutral Buoyancy?

For an object placed in water, the amount of buoyancy it receives is equal to the weight of the amount of water it discharges. If an object in the water displaces more water than the object itself, the object will float on the water. We call it positive buoyancy. Otherwise it sinks, which is called negative buoyancy. If the weight of the object discharging water is equal to the weight of the object itself, the object will be suspended in the water to achieve neutral buoyancy.
