Abstract
The buoyancy force on a particle in a rotating fluid is derived. We have not seen a derivation of this type of buoyancy force elsewhere although it is often presented de facto. The buoyancy force in hydrostatics is also rarely derived except for rectangular shapes. We derive it for a sphere.
