Buoyant Force in High vs Low Density Liquids: Homework Statement & Solution

In summary: Buoyant Force for both case are the same... Am I right?Yes, you are correct. The buoyant force is the same in both cases because the weight of the object is the same and the volume of water displaced is the same. This is due to the Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Therefore, the object will float at the same level in both cases. In summary, when the object is submerged into a higher density liquid compared to a lower density liquid, it will float higher in the liquid due to the same buoy

is there anything to do with the metacentric height , buoyant point in this question ?

Not specifically. I just wanted to alert you to the fact that the topic is subtler than may appear, that it might not actually be true that the object would always be more stable in the lighter fluid, and that even if it is a rigorous proof would not be easy.
