Question #86d96

Answer 1

The buoyant force increases if the object in questions displaces more fluid.

Explanation:

`F_B = rho_f * V_f * g`
Where `rho_f` is the density of the fluid,
`V_f` is the volume of fluid displaced by the object (or the volume of the object below the surface of the fluid, and
`g` is the gravitational acceleration.

Since `rho_f` and `g` are usually assumed to be constant, and only change wildly in extreme conditions, `V_f` is the only term which can change in the above equation.
