Mathematics · Gravitation and Buoyancy
Two objects A and B are immersed in water and their weights are recorded using a spring balance. Based on Archimedes' principle and the incomplete data table below, find the correct values for X, Y, Q, and Z. (Note: All readings are in gram-weight, gm-wt). - For Object A: Weight in air = X, Weight in water = 55, Weight of water displaced = Y, Upthrust = 10 - For Object B: Weight in air = 80, Weight in water = Q, Weight of water displaced = 5, Upthrust = Z
- 1X = 65, Y = 55, Q = 5, Z = 55
- 2X = 5, Y = 10, Q = 75, Z = 5
- 3X = 65, Y = 10, Q = 75, Z = 5✓
- 4X = 55, Y = 65, Q = 5, Z = 80
Correct answer
X = 65, Y = 10, Q = 75, Z = 5
