Hey,
The question is:
"AN object weighs 6.4 N when fully immersed in water. Find the buoyant force acting on it."
I have not even come near to the solution because it doesn't fit in the formula.

thanks in advance.
 
on Phys.org
As stated, there is not enough information given to answer the question. Please post the problem exactly--word for word--as it was given to you.

Also, try to understand the principles instead of just looking for a formula to use. Read up on Archimedes's principle.
 
that's the exact word to word question and i think its true-the question is incomplete
i'll verify, thanks otherwise
