$A$ 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.

$Assertion :$ The buoyant force on a submerged rigid object can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the object.
$Reason :$ For a rigid body,a force field distributed uniformly through its volume can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the body.

$A$ heavy hollow cone of radius $R$ and height $h$ is placed on a horizontal table surface,with its flat base on the table. The whole volume inside the cone is filled with water of density $\rho$. The circular rim of the cone's base has a watertight seal with the table's surface and the top apex of the cone has a small hole. Neglecting atmospheric pressure,find the total upward force exerted by water on the cone.
