A beaker containing water is placed on the pan of a balance which shows a reading of 200 g. A lump of sugar weighing 75 g and of volume 30 cc is now suspended inside the water from an external support without touching any part of the beaker. (a) what will be the reading just when the lump of sugar is immersed ? how will the reading change as time passes ? (b) what will be the initial reading if the lump is simply dropped gently into the beaker and how will the reading change?
