Do you think we are safe in assuming that the total buoyant force acting on both submerged objects is equal to the sum of the buoyant forces on each object?
a) Yes, because buoyant force is additive in nature.
b) No, because buoyant force is only dependent on the volume of the submerged object.
c) Yes, because buoyant force is solely determined by the weight of the submerged object.
d) No, because buoyant force is independent of the properties of the submerged objects.
