It can be, or it can be less than the weight of the object.
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, not the weight of the object itself. This principle is known as Archimedes' principle.
The upward bouyant force depends only on the weight of the displaced fluid. The NET force (object's weight - bouyant force) depends on the object's weight and will determine how fast it sinks.
The notion that an object floats if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the object's weight is known as Archimedes' principle. According to this principle, an object will float when the upward force (buoyant force) exerted by the fluid it displaces is equal to the downward force (weight) of the object.
The principle of floatation states that an object will float in a fluid if the weight of the displaced fluid is equal to or greater than the weight of the object. This is because the buoyant force acting on the object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, allowing it to float.
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle helps explain why objects float or sink in fluids like water.
Newton's principle of buoyancy states that the buoyant force acting on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object. This principle helps explain why objects float or sink in fluids based on their density relative to the fluid.
The bouyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
The upward bouyant force depends only on the weight of the displaced fluid. The NET force (object's weight - bouyant force) depends on the object's weight and will determine how fast it sinks.
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.

It sinks
No, but the difference between the buoyant force and the weight of the object will determine whether it floats or sinks.
