How Does Buoyant Force Compare to Weight When an Object is Held Submerged?

[tippetmaster]

Homework Statement

Suppose that an object that would normally float is held submerged How does the buoyant force in this situation compare to its weight? Explain you answer.

Homework Equations

I know that if a floating object isn't held submergered then its weight and buoyant force are equal, However, I am confused about the above situation

The Attempt at a Solution

Not really a problem but I just want to understand

What does the buoyant force depend on? How does it change when you submerge the object? (Review Archimedes's principle.)
