Why does buoyant force vary with depth of the submerged object?

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced.
For a dense object, such as a coin or a Bowling ball, the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force and the object will sink if you let go of it. For a less dense object, such as an ice cube or a block of balsa wood, the buoyant force is greater than the weight and you can feel it pushing the object toward the surface, resisting your attempt to hold it submerged. If you let go, the object will rise up and float.

Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
The greater the pressure against the bottom of a submerged object produces an upward buoyant force
What is the upward force that acts on an object that is submerged in a fluid?
buoyant force
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced?
FALSE
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The buoyant force on any object in water is equal to the weight of the displaced water, regardless of how much of the object is submerged.

The buoyant force on an object is least when the object is?
The buoyant force is zero when the object is just touching the liquid. As the object displaces more volume, the buoyant force increases until the object is completely submerged. Once the object is submerged, it doesn't matter how deep it is, the buoyant force remains constant.
Why does buoyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?
The greater the pressure against the bottom of a submerged object produces an upward buoyant force
Why does buoyant force act upward?
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object. To overcome the gravitational force, the buoyant force acts in the upward direction. The larger pressure at greater depth pushes upward on the object.
What is the upward force that acts on an object that is submerged in a fluid?
buoyant force
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced?
FALSE
How does the buoyant force affect a submerged object?
If the weight of the object is higher than the buoyant force the object SINKS. And the opposite happens if the weight is lower than the buoyant force. If it is equal, the object neither sink nor float, it is neutrally buoyant.
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The buoyant force on any object in water is equal to the weight of the displaced water, regardless of how much of the object is submerged.
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced.?
FALSE
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produces?
FALSE
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the water displaced?
The buoyant force on a fully submerged object is equal to the weight of the water displaced. In fact, that's also true of a floating object.
When the weight of a submerged object is less than the buoyant force will the object sink?
No.
