A spring balance reads w1w_1 when a ball of mass mm is suspended from it. A weighing machine reads w2w_2 when a beaker of liquid is kept on the pan of balance. When the ball is immersed in liquid, the spring balance reads w3w_3 and the weighing machine reads w4w_4. The two balances are now so arranged that the suspended mass is inside the liquid in a beaker. Then,
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
w4>w2w_4>w_2
Option B (w4>w2w_4>w_2) is correct because when the ball is immersed, it displaces liquid, increasing the weight measured by the weighing machine.
