Question

A boy is carrying a bucket of water in in one hand and a piece of plaster in the other. After transferring the plaster piece to the(in which it floats) the body will carry
a)same load as before
b)more load than before
c)less load than before

Answer 1

Heya!!

Buoyant force will act only on the body immersed in water and will not affect the total load on the scale pan.

So, (A)same load as before is the correct answer

Hope it helps✌️✌️

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) same load as before

Explanation:

Think of it as an application of the third law of motion.

The load = the total force experienced on the bucket.

Bouyant force = The force exerted on the plaster only.

Since Bouyant force is not being exerted on the bucket but just on the plaster.

It won't be counted as a load

whereas the total weights (that of the plaster as well as that of the bucket) will directly be counted as the load.

Hence the answer is option (a)

I hope it it is useful

Thank You.
