There is more water in a beaker placed in the pan of a spring balance.If we dip our finger in this water without touching the bottom of the beaker, then what would be the effect on the reading of the balance ?

A tank containing water is placed on a spring balance. A stone of weight w is hung and lowered into the water without touching the sides and the bottom of the tank. Explain how the reading will change.

A beaker containing water (weighing 150 g) is placed on the pan of a balance which shows a reading of 200g on the other pan (a) now the stone is put into the beaker. Will they weigth the same, more or less ? (b) It the ston eis suspended b a thread from an extenal support and allowed to sink into water without touching any part of the beaker, what weight will be required balance ? (Density of stone =2000 kg m^(3) )

A student took a spring balance calibrated in gf. He then suspended an object of mass 1 kg to the spring balance. Determine what would be the reading of the spring balance.

(i) A toy boat made of steel is floating in a beaker having water. The beaker is placed on a spring balance. The boat tilts and sinks into water. (a) Will the level of water in the beaker go up or fall down? (b) Will the reding of spring balance decrease or increase? (iii) You are in a boat on a calm lake. There is a floating log near you . You pick the log and put it into the boat. What happesn to the level of water in the lake? Does it rise or fall?

A beaker containing water is placed on the platform of a spring balance. The balance reads 1.5 kg. A stone of mass 0.5 kg and density 10^(4) kg//m^(3) is immersed in water without touching the walls of the beaker. What will be the balance reading now?

A bucket of water is suspended from a spring balance. What happens to reading of balance (a) when a piece of stone suspended from a string is immersed in the water without touching the bucket (b) when a piece of lead or cork is put in the water in the bucket.
