it depends,if the block sinks weight of the block is larger if the block floats with some part inside then weight=buoyancy if it floats buoyancy is larger

What is the force of gravity acting on the block (the weight) in water?
The force of gravity on a block is the same, whether it is in air or in the water. The apparent weight (the force you need to keep it from falling) is less in water, due to the buoyancy force, which counteracts the weight.
When a body is immersed in liquid the force acting on it are?
buoyancy and its weight downward
Buoyancy force is determined by comparing the?
volume displaced and the specific weight of the substance
What is the scientific definition of a buoyant force?
Buoyancy is an upward thrust or force exerted by a fluid , that opposes an object's weight.
The buoyancy force on a submarine submerged in the ocean equals what?
the weight of the water displaced by the submarine.

How is fluid used to lift heavy objects?
Water helps lift an objects via the buoyancy force. The buoyancy force is equal to the weight of water displaced by the volume of the submerged object. If this buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the object, the object will float in that position. If the object is completely submerged and the resulting buoyancy force is less than the weight of the object, it will continue to sink.
When a body is immersed in liquid the force acting on it are?
buoyancy and its weight downward
How does weight of an object immersed in a liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?
Not at all. (The buoyancy force equals the weight if the displaced water,)
What is the force exerted on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced?
buoyancy is the upward force that keeps things afloat. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least seem lighter
Why do objects wiegh less in water?
The force of Buoyancy subtracts from the gravitational weight.
Buoyancy force is determined by comparing the?
volume displaced and the specific weight of the substance
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.

Why the weight of object in water is less than in air?
The force of Buoyancy in water subtracts from the weight of the object in air.
Is buoyancy only in water If No then where else can you find it?
Does 'eureka' ring a bell? Buoyancy is explained by Archimedes' principle which states: Any object, wholly or partly immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. An object will "float" when that force is equal to, or larger than its weight. Liquids and gases are fluids, so there is buoyancy in alcohol, gasoline or air. These are all experiments you could try. Hint: hot air balloons.
The buoyancy force on a submarine submerged in the ocean equals what?
the weight of the water displaced by the submarine.
