Four identical beakers contain same amount of water as shown below. Beaker $A$ contains only water. A lead ball is held submerged in the beaker $B$ by string from above. A same sized plastic ball, say a table tennis $(TT)$ ball, is held submerged in beaker $C$ by a string attached to a stand from outside. Beaker $D$ contains same sized $TT$ ball which is held submerged from a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without stand) are placed on weighing pans and register readings $w_{A}, w_{B}, w_{C}$ and $w_{D}$ for $A, B, C$ and $D$, respectively. Effects of the mass and volume of the stand and string are to be neglected.
