Detailed Solution

The buoyant force acting on an object immersed in a fluid will always act in the upward direction.
When an object is submerged in a liquid, it experiences a force opposite the gravitational pull from the downward direction, resulting in weight loss. This is because the fluid's upward force works against the weight of an object submerged in the fluid. As we know, a fluid column's pressure rises with depth. As a result, an object submerged in fluid experiences more pressure at its bottom than at its top. Due to this pressure difference, the net upward force on the object is what we refer to as buoyancy. As a result, the object's weight decreases when it is completely immersed in a fluid. This is because it always acts in the upward direction because of increased pressure with depth and acts in the opposite direction to the body's weight.
