ANSWER:
Step 1 of 1
We are going to arrange the objects based on the buoyant forces.
The three objects are hanging motionless in the fluid. The objects have the same volume and the volume of liquid displaced by the objects are the same. Therefore the buoyant force on the individual objects is the same.
