(i) Make a rough copy of the figure. Draw arrows on your copy to show the weight of the object and the upthrust. Pay particular attention to the relative positions of the lines of action of the two forces. (ii) Describe what will happen to the object and suggest its approximate final position after is comes to equilibrium.
