A beaker containing water is placed on the pan of a balance, which shows a reading of M. A lump of sugar of mass m and volume V is now suspended by a thread (from an independent support) in such a way that it is completely immersed in water without touching the beaker and without any overflow of water. How will the reading change as time passes on ?
Alternative solution: Trick: If dissolving material have higher density as compare to water density, reading will always increase. |
