    This document explains the principle of buoyancy and its importance for building a neutrally buoyant sea perch robot. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by water that causes an object to float, sink, or remain neutrally buoyant based on the object's density compared to the density of water. Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object's density equals that of water, so it neither sinks nor floats. The document discusses how understanding buoyancy and Archimedes' principle can help calculate how to make a sea perch neutrally buoyant, and the importance of stability through proper alignment of the center of buoyancy and center of gravity.
