Solution

According to Archimedes Principle, when a body is partially or totally immersed in a liquid it experiences a buoyant force which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. So, when the block is immersed it would experience a buoyant force which would be equal to the weight of liquid displaced. Here, the weight of the displaced liquid is given 23 N. So, the buoyant force is equal to 23 N.
