प्रश्न
When a piece of wood is suspended from the hook of a spring balance, it reads 70 gf. The wood is now lowered into water. What reading do you expect on the scale of spring balance?

उत्तर
The reading on the spring balance will be zero because wood floats on water and while floating the apparent weight = 0.
