Question

A metal block of mass 1.840 kg is hanging from a string. The tension in the string is 9.972 N. The block is submerged in a beaker of fluid and is stationary. What is the magnitude and direction of the buoyant force acting on the block? Consider making a free body diagram showing the three forces acting on the block.

I know the formula is F=PA but I'm confused on the steps to take. Please help!

The difference between the mg and tension force is the buoyant force.
