When you push the block of wood underwater, you feel a force on your hand because of buoyancy. The displaced water exerts an upward force on the block of wood, opposing the force you apply to push it down. This results in a feeling of resistance or buoyant force on your hand.
The aluminum block will experience a greater buoyant force compared to the iron block because aluminum is less dense than iron, making it more buoyant in water. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object, so the lighter aluminum block displaces more water and experiences a stronger upward force.
The block of Styrofoam floats on water while a same size block of lead lies submerged in the water. The buoyant force is greatest on the lead. Compared to an empty ship, the same ship loaded with Styrofoam will float lower in the water.
A steel block is denser than water, so it will sink in water due to its weight being greater than the buoyant force acting on it. The buoyant force is not strong enough to overcome the gravitational force acting on the steel block, preventing it from floating.
A block sinks when placed in water because its density is higher than the density of water. Since objects sink in water if they are denser than water, the force of gravity acting on the block is greater than the buoyant force pushing it up, causing it to sink.
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.
The density of water is greater than that of plastic. When a block of plastic is under water, the magnitude of the buoyant force or upthrust exerted by water on the block is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the block. Hence, the block of plastic released under water will come up to the surface of water.

The weight of the iron block will be the same when placed in seawater, but it would experience a buoyant force due to the water displaced by the block. This buoyant force would partially counteract the weight of the block, making it feel lighter in water.
A steel block is denser than water, so it will sink in water due to its weight being greater than the buoyant force acting on it. The buoyant force is not strong enough to overcome the gravitational force acting on the steel block, preventing it from floating.

No. In fact, it's a question of density not of buoyancy. As it is less dense than the water, the water will sink below the block.
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.
Using the rough rule-of-thumb: 1 liter of water = 1 kg.-- The block sinks until it has displaced 720 liters of water. At that point,the mass of the displaced water has the same weight as the mass of theblock has, and the block sinks no further.-- The block still has 280 liters of its volume above water. If that were submerged,another 280 kg of water would be displaced.-- The additional 280 kg of water would weigh (280 x 9.8) = 2,744 newtons (617.3 pounds).That much additional buoyant force would fight the effort to submerge the block.It takes an additional 2,744 newtons (617.3 pounds) to keep the block under water.
The buoyant force on the block of wood is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the block, which is 30 lb. This is because the block is in equilibrium, with its weight equal to the buoyant force pushing it up.
mass of the block is 3.5kg so block is floats on the water then we are say density of the body less than the water there is only along normal force acting the body buoyant force=mass*gravity B=3.5*9.8 B=34.8Kg/m/sec^2. thank you
A wax block will float in water because wax is less dense than water. When placed in water, the buoyant force acting on the wax block is greater than its weight, causing it to float.
