What is the force on a floating object that is equal to the amount of water the object displaces?

You're fishing for the "buoyant force", but the wording of the question is
quite unscientific.
The force on the floating object is not equal to water. It's equal to the
weight of the amount of water that is displaced.

Principles which helps a ship float?
Archimedes' principles: -- An object in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. -- A sinking object displaces its volume. -- A floating object displaces its weight.
What is equal to the volume of water an object displaces?
volume of water an object displaces is equal to the volume of the part of the object inside it
State the principle of floatation?
A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.
What does a submerged object displace?
a submerged object displaces liquid which is equal to its volume
What objects sink in the water?
Those objects that have a greater density than water will sink in the water. This comes from Archimedes' principle which states that a floating object displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the object. If the object has a greater density than the water, then it would displace more water than is possible by its volume, so it sinks.

How do you measure an irregular shaped object?
Use the water displacement method. The object is equal to the amount of water it displaces. :)
What happens to water level when something sinks or floats?
A floating object always displaces an amount of water of the same weight of the object. An object that sinks displaces the amount of fluid equal to the objects volume. Water levels rise. So to calculate either, you would need to know the weight or the volume. One other comment, the amounts are different between objects in fresh water and objects in salt water
What are the principals on boats that float?
Any object which displaces an amount of liquid equal in weight to it's weight will float.
State the principle of floatation?
A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.
What does a submerged object displace?
a submerged object displaces liquid which is equal to its volume
What are the archemedes principle?
The bouyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
What objects sink in the water?
Those objects that have a greater density than water will sink in the water. This comes from Archimedes' principle which states that a floating object displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the object. If the object has a greater density than the water, then it would displace more water than is possible by its volume, so it sinks.
Does the buoyant force on a submerged inflated balloon increase as it sinks?
No, it actually might decrease due to balloon being compressed by pressure. Floating objects are governed by Archimedes Principle which states that the weight of a floating object is equal to the water it displaces. A corollary of Archimedes Principle is that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the volume of water displaced. Therefore, when a balloon is compressed as it submerges it displaces less water and the buoyant force decreases proportionately.
What is the Archimedes theory of floating?
Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid. For more general objects, floating and sunken, and in gases as well as liquids (i.e. a fluid), Archimedes' principle may be stated thus in terms of forces: Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
