A solid object suspended just below the water's surface and one at the bottom of the tank experience
Same buoyant force
Buoyancy decreases with depth
Zero buoyancy at the bottom
Buoyancy increases with depth
Explanation
Buoyancy depends on <strong>displaced volume</strong> (and fluid density), not depth. As long as the object is fully submerged, is constant.
