The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the

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.
