MCQ

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 $500$ $kg/m^3$ is immersed in water without touching the walls of beaker. What will be the balance reading now ? ..... $kg$

A
$2$
✓
$2.5$
C
$1 $
D
$3 $

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$2.5$

b
Volume of stone $=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{0.5}{500}=10^{-3} \,m ^3$

Force of Buoyancy $=\rho V g=1000 \times 10^{-3} \times 10=10\, N$

There will be a reaction force to the buoyant force, by the stone on the water.

Therefore, net force on spring balance is sum of force of buoyancy and weight

of water and beaker $= F _{ B }+ mg =10+1.5 g =10+15=25 \,N$

Net reading of spring balance $=2.5 \,kg$

A particle of mass $1 kg$ is subjected to a force which depends on the position as $\vec{F}=-k(x \hat{i}+y \hat{j}) kgms ^{-2}$ with $k=1 kgs ^{-2}$.
