Detailed Solution

The force of buyoancy is 4 N.
According to the Archimedes principle “When a body is fully or partially immersed in a fluid at rest, it appears to lose weight”. In other words,
Apparent weight  10 N-6 N=4 N
Here 4 N is the buoyancy force or the weight of the liquid displaced by the object 4 N.
