This question involves the concepts of buoyant force and the weight of an object.

The buoyant force on the piece of metal is "8 N".

The apparent weight of the piece of metal is given by the following formula:

Apparent Weight = Actual Weight - Buoyant Force

Buoyant Force = Actual Weight - Apparent Weight

Buoyant Force = 20 N - 12 N

Buoyant Force = 8 N
