because, the gravity and density in water is much less then in normal air. so if someone or something above water is heavy, then under water it will seem alot less heavy. and another reason might be because many objects have air in them and in water air will float to the top. that's why cruise ships float and not sink, because of the air in them, it keeps them afloat. so if ur handling something under water that has air in it, its gonna seem alot lighter because its "trying" to get to the surface.

Why does a stone feel lighter when it was under water?

because the upthrust force of the water acting on the stone was pushing the stone upwards meaning it was acting against the downwards weight of the stone (its weight). This meant that the downwards force was decreased and therefore felt lighter :)


Why is it easier to lift a heavy stone when fully immersed in water?

Because an object immersed in water is buoyed upward by a force equal to the weight of the displaced water, so the stone's net weight in water is less than it is in air, by a difference of roughly 62 pounds for each cubic foot of its volume.
