Physics Arcemedes Principle?

Question

If you weighed a beaker of water on a scale, then added an object to it that was submerged in the water but did not touch the bottom of the beaker, would the scale reading increase, decrease or stay the same. Explain why

Answer 1

Luigione 70 is right

although it doesnt touch the bottom, the apparent weight of the object would decrease due to its buoyancy, and that buoyant force needs to be opposed in the beaker(newtons law). which results in a greater force on the scales... if you picture it it should make more sense than my babbling

i like that question :)

Answer 2

Archimedes Principle... "When a solid body is partially or completely immersed in water, the apparent loss in weight will be equal to the weight of the displaced liquid."

It will increase.
It depends on the mass of the object. Of course, the more heavy it is, the more it will reach the bottom of the beaker.
Density of the water has an effect too. Salt water has different density compared to fresh water.

Answer 3

The scale reading increase: the increment is the weigh of water displaced.

Answer 4

Eureka! It would increase and, if displaying in grams, it would increase by numerical value for the volume displaced in cubic centimeters (assuming density of the water is 1 g/cc).

Answer 5

did you mean Archimedes?

the scale measures the mass placed on it.

it's no different than if you get on the scale wearing a hat. the reading would be greater with the hat than without.

Answer 6

There is more weight than beforehand. the scale would read increase.

Answer 7

increase.

There is more "stuff" in the beaker. Therefore it is heavier

Answer 8

if you had the correct spelling you could look it up on an Internet search engine
