If some object is weighed when submerged in water, what will happen to its weight in air ?

Increase

Decrease

Remain exactly the same

Increase or decrease cannot be predicted

Explanation:

An object weighs the same in air as well as in water. But, in water an additional buoyant force acts on the ball in a direction opposite to the direction in which the weight of the ball acts. If the weight of the ball acts downwards, buoyant force acts upwards. These two forces work together to make it seem as the object weighs less in water.
