This will be a repeat somewhat of John M's comment: but I would ask Chuck B. two questions

1) This may sound silly, but what is your definition of submerged? As it may have bearing on how I evaluate your statement below.

Underwater


2) What is the agent of the UPWARD force to which you refer?
(I'm assuming we are analyzing the situation in a "Newtonian" inertial reference frame.)

Pseudo Forces don't have agents, they are free-agents!
