Question

Four students A, B, C, and D while performing an experiment on establishing the relation between the loss of weight of a small solid when fully immersed in tap water, and the weight of water displaced by it, used four different shapes of overflow cans containing water as shown.



The arrangement, that would give correct results, is that of student :
(1) (A)
(2) (B)
(3) (C)
(4) (D)

Answer 1

In the given experiment, when the body is immersed in water, the water displaced should be moved out of the small made in the can, so its weight can be measured for experiment purposes. But in cans A, B, and D, the water level is not matching with the height of the hole. So when the body will be immersed in those cans it will not release the exact amount of water which the body displaced, So all the cans except C would give false results, but C would give correct results, as the water level is exactly matching with the height of the hole.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
