Question

question 3 of 24 what happens if the buoyant force on an object is greater than the weight of the object? a. the object floats near the surface of the liquid and is only partially submerged. b. the object sinks to the bottom of the liquid. c. the object floats on top of the liquid without being submerged. d. the object floats in the liquid but is completely submerged.

Explanation:

When the buoyant force exceeds the object's weight, the net upward force causes the object to rise. It will float near the surface with only part submerged, as the displaced fluid weight (buoyant force) adjusts to equal the object's weight.

Answer:

A. The object floats near the surface of the liquid and is only partially submerged.
