An ice cube in a glass of water is pushed to the bottom of the glass and held there with a straw. Consequently, the buoyant force on the ice cube is now a. the same as when the cube was floating at the top. b. exactly balanced by the weight of the ice cube. c. exactly balanced by the force exerted by the straw. d. greater than when the cube was floating at the top.

Respuesta :

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

Initially, the ice cube is floating over the water

When the cube is pressed to touch the bottom, it is submerged fully

Therefore more buoyant force is acting on it

At first, a part of the volume is submerged in the water, so the buoyant force is less, but as the entire cube is immersed in the water, the buoyant force increases.
