Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I think the weight is the same in the two cases.
But I have done some tricky questions involving buoyancy/weight.water level, and sometimes the answer is not so simple. Once I can confirm this answer, I will post some variants of this situation and try to see where my confusion is.
