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. _Source: OpenStax University Physics Volume 1, Chapter 14, Fluid Mechanics._
