Explanation:

Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object when it is immersed, partially or fully, in a fluid - and strictly where the fluid is subjected to a gravitational force but is not in free fall - and its value is equal to.

The force of buoyancy will be greater because tension force acting upwards assist the buoyancy force to move it upwards.
