Rojas · Answer 1

The buoyant force on the object is 235 N.

the buoyant force is defined as the upward force on the object due the fluid displaced and it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. since the weight of the fluid displaced is 235 N, therefore the amount of the buoyant force on the object should be 235 N.
