    Buoyant force equals in magnitude the force of gravity on the wood block

    Explanation:

    When the object stops bobbing and floats, its weight (force exerted by gravity) equals the magnitude of the buoyant force (which in magnitude equals the weight of the fluid - in this case water - displaced by the object), but are in opposite directions so they cancel out and renders a zero net force.

    When the wood block floats, its buoyant force equals in magnitude its weight (force exerted by gravity)
