Question

What happens to the buoyant force on an object as it is lowered into water?

Answer 1

The buoyant force is the upward force or thrust...Simply, consider immersing your hand into a bucket of water. What happens to it? It raises (a little). The raising is due to the buoyant force. Basically it is the upward force/thrust that acts on any object immersed into a fluid. Hence why things float when out in water. Hope this helped!!
