Solution

The correct option is A $70 g$
Weight of bob $= 80 g / 1000 N$ where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity
Weight of water displaced $= 10 \times 1 \times g / 1000 = 10 g / 1000 N$
Apparent weight $= 80 g / 1000 - 10 g / 1000 = 70 g / 1000 N$
Weight measured $= 70 / 1000 k g = 70 g$

While determing the density of the material of a sphere using a spring balance and measuring cylinder,a student noted the following readings

a)Reading of water level in the cylinder without sphere in it=56ml

b)Reading of water level in the cylinder with sphere in it=64ml

If the mass of the sphere is 80g,calculate the density of the sphere.
