Expert Answer
In the water buoyant eorce acts on the bodywhich acts upword which decreases the gravitational force. Hence, the apparant weight of the body in water is not equals to its actual weight.
Apparant weight = Actual weight - Magnitude of buoyant force ........(1)
When the bucket is totally filled with water, buoyant force equals the gravitational force.
Hence from eq(1) apparant weight becomes zero and you dont feel its heavy.
The moment you pull the bucket outside the water, there is no buoyant force acting on it.
Hence the apparant weight becomes the actual weight and you feel its heavy.
For reference refer Halliday Resnick page 369.
