Buoyant force is greatest on a submerged
A)10-N block of lead.
B)10-N block of aluminum.
C)same on each

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Aluminum has a lower density than lead, so a 10-N block of aluminum will displace more fluid than a 10-N block of lead, resulting in a greater buoyant force. Therefore, the buoyant force is greatest on the 10-N block of aluminum.
