Four identical beakers contain same amount of water as shown below. Beaker $A$ contains only water. A lead ball is held submerged in the beaker $B$ by string from above. A same sized plastic ball, say a table tennis $(TT)$ ball, is held submerged in beaker $C$ by a string attached to a stand from outside. Beaker $D$ contains same sized $TT$ ball which is held submerged from a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without stand) are placed on weighing pans and register readings $w_{A}, w_{B}, w_{C}$ and $w_{D}$ for $A, B, C$ and $D$, respectively. Effects of the mass and volume of the stand and string are to be neglected.
  • A$w_{A}=w_{B}=w_{C}=w_{D}$
  • B$w_{B}=w_{C} > w_{D} > w_{A}$
  • C$w_{B}=w_{C} > w_{A} > w_{D}$
  • D$w_{B} > w_{C} > w_{D} > w_{A}$

    An object with uniform density $\rho$ is attached to a spring that is known to stretch linearly with applied force as shown below.When the spring object system is immersed in a liquid of density $\rho_1$ as shown in the above figure, the spring stretches by an amount $x_1\left(\rho > \rho_1\right)$. When the experiment is repeated in a liquid of density $\left(\rho_2 < \rho_1\right)$, the spring stretches by an amount $x_2$. Neglecting any buoyant force on the spring, the density of the object is
