How much water weight does a submerged object displace?

Question

Group of answer choices

a quarter of the weight of the object

half the weight of the object

the same weight as the object

a third of the weight of the object

Answer 1

A submerged object displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the object itself when fully submerged.

Therefore, the correct choice is:

the same weight as the object.
