Question

A cylindrical container of length L is full to the brim with a liquid which has mass density r. It is placed on a weigh-scale; the scale reading is W. A light ball which would float on the liquid if allowed to do so, of volume V and mass m is pushed gently down and held beneath the surface of the liquid with a rigid rod of negligible volume as shown on the left.

What is the reading of the scale when the ball is fully immersed?

  1. W–rho Vg    
  2. W    
  3. W + mg – rho Vg    
  4. None    

The correct answer is: None
