Please show all steps and solutions

Shown below are six objects that have different masses and different volumes. These blocks are suspended at two different depths in water by being hung by a string from a supporting rod. Rank these situations, from greatest to least, on the basis of buoyant force on the blocks by the water. Greatest Force Least Force Or, all of the buoyant forces on the blocks by the water are equal Or, there are no buoyant forces on the blocks by the water Or, it is not possible to determine the buoyant forces on the blocks by the water. Please carefully explain your reasoning. How sure were you of your ranking? (circle one) Basically Guessed Sure Very Sure C. Hieggelke Ranking Task Exercises in Physics: Student Edition

Explanation / Answer

boyuant force = weight of displaced water = V*d*g = (V/1000000)*1000*9.8 (V is in cm^3)

thus it depends only on the volume of the body

thus:

B=D=E > A=C=F (bouyant forces on the bodies)

Fb = Fd=Fe = (40/1000000)*1000*9.8 = 0.392 N

Fa=Fc=Ff = (10/1000000)*1000*9.8 = 0.098 N
