Question

Figure shows a weighing-bridge, with a beaker P with water on one pan and a balancing weight R on the other. A solid ball Q is hanging with a thread outside water. It has volume 40 cm3 and weighs 80 g. If this solid is lowered to sink fully in water, but not touching the beaker anywhere, the balancing weight R′ will be

Options

A.same as R   
B.40
C.40 g more than R
D.80 g more than R

Solution

Since not touching,
So         R = Fb = ρl(vg) = 40g.
R′ − R = 80g − 40g = 40g
Hence R′ will be 40g more than R
