Question
How does the weight of the water compare to the buoyant force?
(Remember that buoyant force is represented in the simulation by the blue vector point up from the top of the test object.)

Buoyant force is greater.
Weight of displaced water is greater.
They are the same.
They are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction.

The correct answer is:
**They are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction.**
This is based on Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Therefore, while the buoyant force acts upwards, the weight of the displaced water acts downwards.
