# A large container holds a volume \( V_w \) of water that has a density \( \rho_w \). A cube with volume \( V_c \) and density \( \rho_c \) floats partially submerged in the water. Which of the following expressions is equal to the buoyant force on the cube?

A large container holds a volume \( V_w \) of water that has a density \( \rho_w \). A cube with volume \( V_c \) and density \( \rho_c \) floats partially submerged in the water. Which of the following expressions is equal to the buoyant force on the cube?

- **A.** \[ \rho_c V_c g \]
- **B.** \[ \rho_w V_c g \]
- **C.** \[ \rho_c V_s g \]
- **D.** \[ \rho_w V_s g \]
