Question

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 iron object of the same volume ​

Answer 1

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.
