Bouyancy Force = - (density of fluid being displaced) * (Volume of object submerged) * (gravity)
b) The density of lead is much higher than the density of aluminium. Therefore, 1 kg of aluminium will ahve a much larger VOLUME than 1 kg of lead.
Bouyancy is not dependent on weight, it is dependent on volume, so the Aluminium will experience a much larger bouyancy force.

Buoyant force upward depends on the volume of water
displaced by the object.
A 1 kg lead block is smaller than
a 1 kg aluminum block.
(Lead is denser)
The answer is B.

Quickanu is kook-an-u. The bouyant force depends only on the density and is inversely proportional to it. If one material is half as dense an another, it will have twice the bouyant force. Area has nothing to do with it.

depends not only on density but also on area dear
