When an object is floating on a liquid, there are two forces on it:

-- the force of gravity (its weight), directed downward

-- the buoyant force due to displacement of liquid, directed upward

The magnitudes of the two forces are equal, their directions are opposite.
Their sum is zero, the net force on the object is zero, and its vertical velocity
and acceleration are both zero.

There are more than two:

  1. gravity
  2. pressure of the displaced water summed across the submerged surface area.
  3. air pressure on the top surface where the water does not contact.
  4. the fluid meniscus provides either an attractive or repulsive force around the periphery of the object at the air / water interface.
  5. any wave motion will provide some possible forces via 2. above
  6. any air or water motion will also provide additional forces via 3. and 2. above respectively.

Gravity is pulling it down and buoyancy is pulling it up.

There are two forces that act on a rubber duck, Upthurst and weight, because it is made of Plastic it floats,but if it was made of iron it would sink!

How does water affect sound waves?

Water can absorb sound waves, reducing their intensity and making them less audible. Sound also travels faster in water than in air because water is a denser medium. Additionally, the presence of water can distort sound waves, causing them to scatter and become less clear or distinct.
