A vessel with water is placed on a weighing pan and reads 600 g . Now a ball of 40 g and density 
is sunk into the water with a pin as shown in figure keeping it sunk. The weighing pan will show a reading
A
600 g
B
550 g
C
650 g
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Upthrust on ball = weight of displaced water
As the ball is sunk into the water with a pin by applying downward force equal to upthrust on it, so reading of weighing pan
= weight of water + downward force against upthrust
.
