Statement I: Imagine holding two identical bricks under water. Brick `A` is completely submerged just below the surface of water, while brick `B` is at a greater depth. The magnitude of force exerted by the person (on the brick) to hold brick `B` in place is the same as magnitude of force. exerted by the person (on the brick) to hold brick `A` in place.
Statement II: The magnitude of buoyant force on a brick completely submerged in water is equal to the magnitude of weight of water it displaced and does not depend on the depth of the brick in water.
