Answer #1

The buoyant force on a body is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object.

(Archimedes principle)

For a floating object, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the body i.e.

(mg is the weight of the body)

* So, according to the question, the buoyant force will be equal to 80N (weight of the water displaced). Therefore, the weight of the object will also be equal to 80N.
