What force other than gravity is pushing on a rock when it sinks?

The "buoyant" force is acting on it, in the vertically upward direction. That force is
equal to the weight of the water that would be in the volume of the rock if the rock
weren't there.

How do rocks sinks?
A rock sinks because it is pushed down by a force of gravity and it is often denser than the water itself so the buoyancy pushing up on the rock is not strong enough to hold the rock on top of the water so therefore the rock will sink.
How does upthrust depend on accleration due to gravity?
it depends on acceleration due to gravity as f=mg, when acceleration due to gravity increases the force acting also increases.when force acting increases it cancels the upward thrust(buoyant force)so the body sinks in the liquid.
What force makes objects sink?
The earth's gravitational pull makes objects sink in a liquid, but buoyancy acts in the opposite direction to oppose the gravity. Whether an object sinks or floats depends on which force is bigger. ================================
An object that sinks into a fluid is?
As an object sinks in a fluid the buoyant force on it would remain the same.
As an object sinks deeper into fluid does buoyant force remain the same?
Yes as long as it does not compress as it sinks further.

What two forces determine whether an object floats or sinks?
Buoyancy and pressure determine whether the object floats or sinks.
What is cold air pushing warm air which then cools and sinks pushing up more warm air?

How do you know if a product will sink in water by its specific gravity?
Anything with overall specific gravity greater than 1.0 sinks in water.
Will a rock gain or lose buoyant force as it sinks deeper in water or will the buoyant force remain the same as it goes deepr in the water?
the buoyant force will remain the same because the rock will displace the same amount of water volume at any depth. Theoretically, it will gain buoyancy as it sinks, because when an objects density matches the density of the water around it, and water becomes denser as it falls deeper, it will be neutrally buoyant or floating. But since a rock is always going to be more dense than water it would still sink.
What floats and sinks in water?
It depends on the buoyancy force if the weight is greater than buoyancy force it will sink other wise it will float.
What an object does if it weighs greater than the buoyant force?
It sinks.
Why does a anchor sink?
The Anchor Sinks Because of it's weight and gravity. The heavier it gets to faster the anchor sinks.The gravity pulls it down.
