Answer 2

A piece of stone experiences a loss of weight while inside the water because of buoyancy or buoyant force.

• Buoyant force, or the force of buoyancy, is an upward force that a fluid exerts on a body.

• The buoyant force comes into effect due to the pressure that is exerted by the fluid, on an object which is being immersed in the fluid.
