A weightless bag is filled with \(5 \mathrm{~kg}\) of water and is weighed in water using a spring balance. The reading of spring balance is

  1. A \(5 \mathrm{~kg}\)
  2. B \(2.5 \mathrm{~kg}\)
  3. C \(1.25 \mathrm{~kg}\)
  4. D \(0 \mathrm{~kg}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0 \mathrm{~kg}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When water is placed in water, then its apparent weight is zero. Hence, weight measured by spring balance of weightless bag filled with \(5 \mathrm{~kg}\) in water is zero.
