Question

The weight of an object is 200 N. The object sinks in tub of water. The bouyant force is: less than 200 N greater than 200 N equal to 200 N

Answer 1

The buoyant force is less than 200 N. In order for an object to float, the buoyant force of the fluid must be greater than or equal to the displacement of the object. Hope this helps!
