How can they be equal at that point? And where is the force that the string applies.
By the way Fk = Buoyancy Force

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of buoyancy force, specifically addressing the equilibrium conditions of a rod submerged in a fluid. The buoyancy force (Fk) is derived from the net torque around the right end of the rod, which must equal zero for the system to be in equilibrium. Participants question the conditions under which the buoyancy force and the tension in the string are equal, emphasizing the importance of understanding these forces in static equilibrium scenarios.

It comes from the net torque with respect to the right end of the rod. It has to be zero in equilibrium.
