Herman, if it weighs 10lbs on the surface then its weight in water will be:
10lbs - (weight of water displaced by object) = apparent weight.
Lead weights don't displace much water relative to their mass, so their apparent weight is close to their surface weight. Steel tanks weigh around 50lbs on the surface, but only a couple of pounds underwater because the weight of water they have displaced. Make sense??
