Harry Horton · Answer 1

It remains constant

Explanation:

As we know that buoyant force on an object given as

Fb = ρ Vd g

ρ = Density of fluid

Vd=Volume displace by body

g=10 m/s²

Fb = buoyant force

So from above we can say that buoyant force does not depends on the depth. It only depends on the fluid density and volume displace by body.

So when rock gets deeper and deeper the buoyant force will remain constant.

It remains constant
