False. Once the box hit the water, the forces are balanced (50 N down and 50 N up).

Randy Bolton · Answer 2

Common sense, the object will not stop once it hits the water, it will fall through. Depending on its size, it will either sink or float.

Water tension is a good variable to add to your answer.
