Question

A vessel with water is placed on a weighing pan and it reads 600 ~g . Now a ball of mass 40 ~g and density 0.80 ~g ~cm ⁻³ is sunk into the water with a pin of negligible volume, as shown in figure keeping it sunk. The weighing pan will show a reading

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. 650 ~g

Volume of ball = 40 0.8 =50 ~cm ³ Downthrust on water =50 ~g . Therefore reading is 650 ~g .
