Question
9.A beach ball is made of thin plastic. It has been inflated
with air, but the plastic is not stretched. By swimming with
fins on, you manage to take the ball from the surface of a
pool to the bottom. Once the ball is completely submerged,
what happens to the buoyant force exerted on the beach
ball as you take it deeper? (a) It increases. (b) It remains
constant. (c) It decreases. (d) It is impossible to determine.
