Question
The spring balance A reads 2 kg with a block m suspended from it. A balance B reads 5 kg when a beaker with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass is inside the liquid in the beaker as shown in the figure in this situation
- the balance A will read more than 2 kg
- the balance B will read more than 5 kg
- the balance A will read less than 2 kg and B will read more than 5 kg
- the balances A and B will read 2 kg and 5 kg respectively
The correct answer is: the balance B will read more than 5 kg
