A beaker containing water is placed on the pan of a spring balance which shows a reading of `W_0`. A lump of sugar of mass `m` and volume `v` is now suspended by a thread (from an independent support). How will the reading change as time passes on ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


`W_(0) " " underset("(Initially)")(W_(0) +F_(B) = W_(0)+(rho omega)/(sigma)mg)`
As sugar dissolves completely, reading of balance `= W_0 + mg` The reading of balance will gradually increase till all the sugar dissolves in water and final reading `= W_0 + mg`.

A beaker containing water is placed on the pan of a balance which shows a reading of M . A lump of sugar of mass m ad volume v is now suspend by a thread (from an independent support) in such a way that it is completely immersed in water without touching the beaker and without any overflow of water. How will the reading change as time passes on?

A beaker containing water is placed on the pan of a balance which shows a reading of 200 g. A lump of sugar weighing 75 g and of volume 30 cc is now suspended inside the water from an external support without touching any part of the beaker. (a) what will be the reading just when the lump of sugar is immersed ? how will the reading change as time passes ? (b) what will be the initial reading if the lump is simply dropped gently into the beaker and how will the reading change?
