Using a spring balance, a given solid is weghed in the air. It is then weghed by immersing fully in water in each of the three vessels containing water as shown in fig. The apparent weight of the solid will be:

A

least in A

B

least in B

C

least in C

D

equal in all

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Buoyancy on the solid is independent of the shape of the vessel in which it is immersed.
