A rigid object is suspended from a force sensor and lowered into a beaker of ethanol (ρ=0.79 g/mL\rho = 0.79\,\text{g/mL}) until it is fully submerged. The object's volume is V=60 mLV = 60\,\text{mL}. Take g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2. Which prediction aligns with buoyancy regarding the force sensor reading after submersion (relative to in air)?
