When a stone is submerged in water, it experiences a buoyant force that counteracts its weight. This buoyant force makes the stone feel lighter while underwater.

 Upon lifting the stone out of the water, the buoyant force is removed, and only the stone's weight is felt. Consequently, it feels heavier when lifted out because the upward force from the water is no longer acting on it, revealing its true weight.

Thus, on lifting a stone submerged in water, it feels heavier when it comes out of the water.
