Question
In lab you find that a 1-kg rock suspended above water weighs 10 N. When the rock is suspended beneath
the surface of the water, the scale reads 8 N.
a. What is the buoyant force on the rock?
b. If the container of water weighs 10 N on the weighing scale, what is the scale reading when the rock is
suspended beneath the surface of the water?
c. What is the scale reading when the rock is released and rests at the bottom of the container?
