The shape of an object does not directly affect the buoyant force, since the buoyant force depends on the volume of displaced fluid, not the shape of the object. However, the shape can influence whether the object displaces enough fluid to float. For example, a large, flat object can displace a large volume of water even though it is not very heavy, allowing it to float, while a small, dense object may sink.
