A metal ball immersed in water weights

{w_1}\;\mathrm{at}\;{0^ \circ }\mathrm{C and}\;{w_2}\;

at 50

^ \circ C

. The coefficient of cubical expansion of metal is less than that water. Then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

{w_1} < {w_2}

Option B (

{w_1} > {w_2}

) is correct because as the temperature increases, the density of water decreases more than the density of the metal, leading to a smaller buoyant force and thus a smaller apparent weight at 50°C.
