A wooden block of volume `1000cm^(3)` is suspended from a spring balance its weight is 12 N in air. It is suspended in water such that half of the block is below the surface of water. The reading of spring balance isA. `10 N`B. `9 N`C. `8 N`D. `7 N`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Reading of the spring balance = Apparent weight of the block = Actual weight - upthrust
`= 12 - V_("in")sigmag`
`=12-500xx10^(-6)xx10^(3)xx10=12-5 =7 N`.
