a) It is now less. The weight of the water above the submerged apple
makes it easier to push the apple down.
b) The force required to hold the apple below the water is the same at
any depth, as long as the apple is completely submerged. The
difference in pressure at the top and bottom of the apple is constant.
Thus, the buoyant force is also constant.
c) It is bigger because the pressure increases with greater depth.
From warmup
It would be more fun if the apple got so deep that the
pressure crushed it, decreasing the weight of displaced
water and sending the apple down into the depths of
the sea.

You are shipwrecked and floating in the middle of
the ocean on a raft. Your cargo on the raft includes
a treasure chest full of gold that you found before
you ship sank, and the raft is just barely afloat. To
keep you floating as high as possible in the water
you should:
