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. \(5 \mathrm{~kg}\)
  2. \(2.5 \mathrm{~kg}\)
  3. \(1.25 \mathrm{~kg}\)
  4. \(0 \mathrm{~kg}\)

Solution

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.
