Lead has greater density than iron and both are denser than water. Is the buoyant force on a lead object greater than, less than or equal to the buoyant force on an object of the same volume?

Hello friend!!!
Buoyant force depends on the density is the fluid and the volume of object immersed in the fluid.
Since the same volume of lead and iron is immersed in water so they both will displace same volume of water.
Since they displace same volume of water, the bouyant force on both of them would be the same.
HOPE THIS HELPS..... :-)

Answer:
Still a lead cube under water will feel heavier than an iron cube of the same volume. That is because the buoyant force acts in the opposit direction of the gravitational force and cancles it out partially. The net force acting on the lead cube thereby is greater since it is denser than iron.
