A balloon that weighs 1 N is suspended in air, drifting neither up nor down. (a) How much buoyant force acts on it? (b) What happens if the buoyant force decreases? (c) If it increases?
Think about what happens to the volume of an air-filled balloon on top of water and beneath the water. Then rank the buoyant forces on a weighted balloon in water, from greatest to least, when it is a. barely floating with its top at the surface. b. pushed 1 m beneath the surface. c. pushed 2 m beneath the surface.
