Three identical blocks each of mass `m = 1 kg` and volume `3 xx 10^(-4) m^(3)` are suspended by massless strings from a support as shown. Underneath are three identical containers containing the same amount of water that are placed over the scales. In Fig. (a), the block is completely out of the water, in Fig. (b), the block is completely submerged but not touching the beaker and in Fig. (c), the block rests on the bottom of the beaker. The scale in Fig (a) reads `14 N`. A. The tension in the string in (b) is `10 N`.B. The tension in the string in (b) is `7 N`.C. The reading of the scale in (b) is `17 N`D. The reading of the scale in (c) is `24 N`.

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C::D
Density of the block `=1/(3xx10^(-4)) kg//m^(3)=10/3xx10^(3)kg//m^(3)`
Buoyant force `B=3xx10-4xx103xxg=3N`
`:. TB=10=3=7N`
Reading of `B=14+3=17N`
Reading of `C=[14+(10-3)+3]N=24N`
