# Two objects labeled K and L have equal mass but densities \( 0.95D_o \) and \( D_o \), respectively. Each of these objects floats after being thrown into a deep swimming pool. Which is true about the buoyant forces acting on these objects?

Two objects labeled K and L have equal mass but densities \( 0.95D_o \) and \( D_o \), respectively. Each of these objects floats after being thrown into a deep swimming pool. Which is true about the buoyant forces acting on these objects?

- **A.** The buoyant force is greater on Object \( K \) since it has a lower density and displaces more water.
- **B.** The buoyant force is greater on Object K since it has lower density and lower density objects always float “higher” in the fluid.
- **C.** The buoyant force is greater on Object \(L\) since it is denser than \(K\) and therefore “heavier.”
- **D.** The buoyant forces are equal on the objects since they have equal mass.
