4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
hard
A box when hung from a spring balance shows a reading of $50 \,kg$. If the same box is hung from the same spring balance inside an evacuated chamber, the reading on the scale will be
A
$50 \,kg$ because the mass of the box remains unchanged.
B
$50 \,kg$ because the effect of the absence of the atmosphere will be identical on the box and the spring balance
C
less than $50 \,kg$ because the weight of the column of air on the box will be absent
D
more than $50 \,kg$ because the atmospheric buoyancy force will be absent
(KVPY-2014)
Solution
(d)
In an evacuated chamber, buoyant force of air is absent, so reading of spring balance is more than $50 \,kg$.
