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 attached to a construction which is resting on the table next to the scale. Then we zero the scale.
Now, we place in the water the red irregular object, which sinks in the water and which is resting on the platform.
Which weight does the scale now display?
Thanks a lot for your answer!
