Four identical beakers contain the same amount of water as shown below. Beaker $A$ contains only water. $A$ lead ball is held submerged in beaker $B$ by a 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 a same-sized $TT$ ball which is held submerged by a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without the 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.

  • A
    $w_{A}=w_{B}=w_{C}=w_{D}$
  • B
    $w_{B}=w_{C} > w_{D} > w_{A}$
  • C
    $w_{B}=w_{C} > w_{A} > w_{D}$
  • D
    $w_{B} > w_{C} > w_{D} > w_{A}$
