Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish

when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas).

If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment

is equal to the object's weight.

Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.
