If the object is a floating one the total weight of the object will be the bouyant force. But, if the object is completely immersed in the liquid, the bouyant force will be the weight of the liquid displaced and it can be calculated by the formula; V x d x g, where V is the volume of the liquid displaced, d, its density, and g, the acceleration due to gravity. This bouyant force will be less than the weight of the object and hence the object sinks

It's buoyancy not bouyancy .
Anyway, buoyancy of an object in a liquid is the product of the object Volume and the liquid Density: (Archimedes’ Principle)
Buoyancy = V*D*10(gravity)
That's what i can recall. Hope it helps.

an object floats when it displaces it's own weight in the medium in which it is floating. hope that helps.
