# 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?

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.
