An object weighs less when it is in water. This is because water exerts a buoyant force on the object. The weight of an object out of water is equal to the object’s weight in water plus the buoyant force of the water. Suppose an object weighs 103 pounds out of water and 55 pounds in water. Write and solve an equation to find the buoyant force of the water.

Question

jdoe0001 · Answer

if the object out of the water weights 103lbs
and 55lbs in water

the buoyant force will be  the difference between 103-55
so... your equation should resemble that
