It actually isn't lighter, the mass of the bucket itself remains the same. However the buoyancy of the object, and the friction of water being higher than air, all work together counteract gravity. This makes the bucket appear to be lighter.

Why it is easier to lift a bucket full of water under the surface of water?
Because all that you are actually lifting is the bucket. The water is moving in it's own medium and so is weightless.

How do you make a water clock?
One way to do it would be to have a bucket of water with a hole in it that is connected to a pulley and weights. As the bucket gets lighter, the weights cause the hand to turn. You would have to vary the dripping to calibrate it.
What can you fill a bucket with to make it lighter?
fire

How many pounds of force is it to push a 5 gallon bucket under water?
If the bucket is empty, and sealed so that no water can get in it, then it takes 41.8 pounds (minus the empty weight of the bucket) to completely submerge it.
Why does the bucket go up after you lower it?
A reasonable explanation as to why the bucket would go up after you lower it is because upon emptying the bucket it becomes lighter. Provided that there is an object heavier than the bucket on the other side of the pulley, the lighter object will always rise.
How can you unfreeze a snow globe?

What can hold a greater volume of water than a mug?
