Given information

Two objects with different volumes

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
 Assume that object 1 has the larger volume, therefore V1>.V2  The difference between an object's real weight and the buoyant force is its perceived weight. Because both objects are completely submerged, the buoyant force is equal to the product of the water density, their mass, and their surface area.
 
volumes, and gravity's acceleration We equalise the apparent weights and solve for
 
The actual weight of object 1 is represented by the symbol W.
