I know that but isn't it that distance is inversely proportional to force acting so why won't the distance of the Weight from pivot etc make any difference?
there is equilibrium. so resultant force is always zero. upwards forces = downward forces

why is upthrust having the least magnitude ? as W= upthrust + air resistance so weight has the greatest magnitude ....but y is upthrust lesser than air resistance?

The magnitude of upthrust acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
The fluid may be liquid or gas.
If it is air, then upthrust is very small, because the weight of the air displaced by the object is very small.
