Archimedes principle?

6. If you double the radius of the aluminum cylinder that was used in this lab, how much should the buoyancy force acting on it change (assume submerged in the same fluid)?

This link might help, but I really think we need a bit more to go on.

Assuming a solid cylinder, doubling the radius would increase the volume by a factor of 4 and therefore the buoyancy force by a factor of 4...(the buoyancy force is equal to the force of the displaced fluid)
