An object is weighted in air and found to have a weight $ W_{\text{air}} $. When fully submerged in an open container of water, its apparent weight is $ W_{\text{app}} $. If the container is now moved to a location with higher atmospheric pressure, how will the apparent weight $ W_{\text{app}} $ change?

Question

An object is weighted in air and found to have a weight $ W_{\text{air}} $. When fully submerged in an open container of water, its apparent weight is $ W_{\text{app}} $. If the container is now moved to a location with higher atmospheric pressure, how will the apparent weight $ W_{\text{app}} $ change?(a) $ W_{\text{app}} $ will stay the same.
, (b) $ W_{\text{app}} $ will decrease because the buoyant force increases.
, (c) $ W_{\text{app}} $ will decrease because the fluid becomes more dense.
, (d) $ W_{\text{app}} $ will increase because the air pushes down harder on the object.
