So, scale B also displays the volume of the object?

And what about floating objects that are forced to be immerced in the water by the standard, like on my picture?

Thanks a lot! An analogue question for floating objects, see attachment. We put a jar filled with water on scale B and place a standard in the water which is resting on scale A. We zero both scales, and then we put a FLOATING object under the standard in the water. Are the following statements...

So, in conclusion the answer is: Vbody * ρ ? And because the density of water is 1, the number of grams the scale displays, is the volume of the object in ml? Is this correct?

It is a support and is NOT part of the scale sensor So, what is displayed on the scale under the water tank is the Archimedes force?

I totally agree. And what is then the downward force on the scale?

But the downward weight is supported by the platform which is supported by the table under the scale. The scale cannot measure this force? Gravitational force and Archimedes force

That is true. It will not be the normal force. But what will the scale measure then?

Yes, but we zero the scale again after putting the platform in the water and after that my question starts.

See attachment. -The upward force is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces = mfluiddisplaced * g = Vbody * ρ * g. -The gravitational force is F = mbody * g. -The platform exerces a normal force. -The object is not moving, so the the gravitational force is equal to the sum of...

Dear, I am a medical doctor and my physics background is limited to that of secondary school many years ago, but should want to ask for your help. In attachment, you can find a picture of my question. On a scale, we place a jar filled with water. We place in the water a platform which is...
