Jerimiah Petersen · Answer 1

the buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced.

Explanation:

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly, it experiences an upwards force which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. This upward force is called buoyant force.

So, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the body if the body is immersed in water.

Thus, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced.
