Answer:
Object
Explanation:
The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the object.
This is known as principle of floatation. The buoyant force (F) is the force acting upward (+F) on a floating body while the weight of the body is acting downward in the negative y direction i.e -W.
Taking the sum of the forces on the body in the vertical direction, mathematically,
+F+(-W) = 0
+F-W = 0
This finally gives F = W which shoes that the buoyant force acting on the object is equal to its weight.
