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 an object (e.g., a rectangle). Draw a downward - pointing arrow labeled \( F_g\) (force of gravity) and an upward - pointing arrow labeled \( F_b\) (buoyant force), with \( F_g>F_b\).
For an object that floats: Draw an object (e.g., a circle). Draw a downward - pointing arrow labeled \( F_g\) (force of gravity) and an upward - pointing arrow labeled \( F_b\) (buoyant force), with \( F_g = F_b\).
