the force of gravity does not change in water, it is equal to mass*g.
What changes in water is the upward bouyancy force, which against the force of gravity.
But the force of gravity is still pulling it downward. If it is floating, the NET force is zero. If it sinks, the net force is weight-bouyancy.
