Help  Force Zone apply different accelaration to 2 ropes

For water/buoyancy, you should be using mode = force and type = directional anyways. This is because unlike gravity, buoyancy is a force, and it has constant direction when inside the medium (towards the surface). Using mode = acceleration and type = radial doesn't really make sense for buoyancy.

kind regards,
Yes I've noticed that. Prev post is deleted. The problem of force is, it's a little difficult to adjust the force value as the radius/volume of the 2 ropes may vary. I'll try to find some tricky way to achieve this.

Why I prefer mode = acceleration: it's not related to mass, line radius (or volume in water), but only to material density . This way, I can calculate the acceleration based on the density ratio of the material to water. If I use force mode, I need to calculate the volume of the line in water, which is a bit difficult
