Buoyancy in water at 0°C will be same as that in water at 4°C.
Buoyancy may be more or less in water at 4°C depending on the radius of the sphere.

उत्तर
Buoyancy will be less in water at 0°C than that in water at 4°C.
Explanation:
Let volume of the sphere is V and ρ is its density, then we can write buoyant force
F = VρG .....(g = acceleration due to gravity)
⇒ F ∝ ρ .....(∵ V and g are almost constant)
⇒ `F_(4^circC)/F_(0^circC) = ρ_(4^circC)/ρ_(0^circC) > 1` .....(∵ ρ4°C > ρ0°C)
⇒ `F_(4^circC) > F_(0^circC)`
Hence, buoyancy will be less in water at 0°C than that in water at 4°C.
