The force of gravity on the object is the same all the time ... doesn't matter
whether it's in the air, in a box, or in corn syrup.

So when it's in corn syrup, the <u>difference</u> must be the buoyant force.

0.83N - 0.71N = <em>0.12 Newton</em>

I'm sorry, but I just have to say how disappointed I am that you couldn't
get through this one on your own.
