Buoyant force

A meter stick is supported by a pin through a hole in the middle. (a) Two blocks made of the same material but different sizes hang from strings at different positions in such a way that the stick balances. What happens when the blocks hang entirely submerged in beakers of water? (b) Next you hang two blocks of different masses but the same volume at different positions so the stick balances. What happens when these blocks hang completely submerged in beakers of water? Support your answer for each part using force diagrams with arrows drawn with the correct relative lengths.
