Question

draw a force diagram for an object that sinks
draw a force diagram for an object that floats

Explanation:

Answer:

For an object that sinks: Draw a downward - pointing arrow labeled \( F_g\) (force of gravity) longer than an upward - pointing arrow labeled \( F_b\) (buoyant force).
For an object that floats: Draw a downward - pointing arrow labeled \( F_g\) (force of gravity) equal in length to an upward - pointing arrow labeled \( F_b\) (buoyant force).
