An object stays suspended at its depth when the buoyant force is:
AEqual to volume
BDouble the weight
CHalf the weight
DEqual to weight
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Equal to weight
1. The two forces must cancel exactly.
2. Then there is no net force at all.
3. So the buoyant force equals the weight.
