Physics · fluid-mechanics

Problem

An apple is held completely submerged just below the surface of a container of water. The apple is then moved to a deeper point in the water. Compared with the force needed to hold the apple just below the surface, what is the force needed to hold it at a deeper point? (a) larger; (b) essentially the same; (c) smaller; (d) impossible to determine.
