The buoyant force acting on the container can be calculated using the formula:
Buoyant force = Weight of the displaced fluid
In this case, the displaced fluid is water. The weight of the water displaced by the container can be calculated by:
Weight of water displaced = Volume of container x Density of water x Acceleration due to gravity
The density of water is approximately 1000 kg/m^3 and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2.
The volume of the container is 1 L = 0.001 m^3
Weight of water displaced = 0.001 x 1000 x 9.81 = 9.81 N
Therefore, the buoyant force acting on the container when submerged in water is 9.81 N.
