Question

<br />24. The weight indicated on a balance is X when a beaker of water is placed on it. A solid ob-<br />ject has weight Y in air and displaces weight z of water when completely immersed. The<br />given diagram shows the object suspended<br />from a light string and completely immersed<br />in the beaker of water. The balance reading<br />in the given arrangement is<br /><br />1) X<br />2) X + Z <br />3) x +Y<br />4) X+Y - Z<br />​

Answer 1

The weight indicated on a balance is X when a beaker of water is placed on it. A solid object has weight Y in air and displaces weight Z of water when completely immersed. The given diagram shows the object suspended from a light string and completely immersed in the beaker of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option 3 is the answer.
