A container, partially filled with water, is resting on a scale that measures its weight. Suppose you place a 200 g piece of wood inside the container filled with water.
What happens to the scale reading?

The scale reading increases by the weight of 200 g of mass. (If you're on Earth, that's about 2 Newtons.)

The object will weigh less than 2N when immersed in water due to the effect of the upthrust force.

The term weight is defined as the gravitational pull of the earth on an object. It is the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The weight of this object is (200 × 10^-3) Kg × 10 ms-2 = 2 N.

We know that when an object is fully or partially immersed in a liquid it experiences an upward force called upthrust which makes it to appear lighter than its real weight.

Hence, the object will weigh less than 2N when immersed in water due to the effect of the upthrust force.
