### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Buoyancy**: - Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object placed in it. This force is responsible for making objects float or rise in a fluid. 2. **Comparing Densities**: - The density of air (ρ_air) is less than the density of water (ρ_water). This can be expressed as: \[ ...
