Here's why:
* Archimedes' Principle: This principle states that the buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
* Maximum Buoyant Force: The maximum buoyant force occurs when the object is fully submerged. In this case, the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object.
* Weight of Displaced Water: The weight of the displaced water is directly proportional to its volume and density. Since the density of water is constant, the weight of the displaced water is determined by the volume of the water displaced (which is equal to the volume of the object).
In summary: The greater the volume of water an object displaces, the greater the buoyant force it will experience.
