1. The large beaker in the picture is set up so that the water displaced by the submerging weight overflows into the small beaker.

In frame E what are the readings on scales a, b, and c, respectively?

  1. 6 N, 0 N, 4 N
  2. 10 N, 0 N, 1 N
  3. 10 N, 1 N, 3 N
  4. 10 N, 0 N, 4 N

 

2. The large beaker in the picture is set up so that the water displaced by the submerging weight overflows into the small beaker.

When would scale (a) again read 10 N?

  1. B only
  2. C only
  3. D only
  4. E only
  5. all of above

3. The large beaker in the picture is set up so that the water displaced by the submerging weight overflows into the small beaker.

In which frame would the reading on scale (c) read .5 N?

  1. B
  2. C
  3. D
  4. E

4. The large beaker in the picture is set up so that the water displaced by the submerging weight overflows into the small beaker.

What is the combined weight of the readings on scales b and c in frames B or C in the animation?

  1. 2 N
  2. 4 N
  3. 6 N
  4. 8 N

5. The large beaker in the picture is set up so that the water displaced by the submerging weight overflows into the small beaker.

  1. B
  2. C
  3. D
  4. None of above
