How is weight affected by buoyant force?

1 Answer

The buoyant force acting on the suspended object exactly equals the object's weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object will rise to the surface and float. If the buoyant force is less than the object's weight, the object will sink. If the buoyant force equals the object's weight, the object can remain suspended at its present depth.
