Answer:

is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced

Step-by-step explanation:

This principle is useful for determining the volume and density of an object by measuring its mass in air and it's mass in water. The name of that rising force acting on objects submerged in water is a buoyant force.

Buoyancy power is equal to the weight of displaced water. The buoyant force does not depend on the total depth of the submerged object. Sometimes the buoyant force increases as the object go deeper and deeper into the fluid. But the bouyon force does not depend on depth. It just depends on the volume of fluid displaced, the density of the water and the acceleration.
