The discussion centers on whether cutting a thread tethering a submerged balloon in a water tank affects the scale reading. Participants explore the dynamics of forces acting on the system, emphasizing that the scale will briefly change its reading when the thread is cut due to the balloon's upward acceleration. The conversation highlights the importance of considering the mass center and the forces at play, noting that the scale reading will eventually return to its original value as the balloon reaches terminal velocity. Additionally, the effects of water displacement and pressure on the scale are debated, with participants agreeing that the system's behavior is complex and influenced by various factors. The inquiry into related scenarios, such as introducing air bubbles into the tank, suggests further exploration of buoyancy and pressure dynamics.

I was just trying to prompt you to think about things. So if it seems there is no external force, then think about what all is happening to see if that is true or not.

that what i did from the start, thinking about all components, actions and reactions across time , and that lead me to a result that was refuted by almost everyone through analysis that i can't quite comprehend. weird results don't stop me. nothing is weirder than space stretch, time dilation and delayed choice experiment , so i thought my conclusion could be right about having more force with same mass and acceleration, but may I'm wrong
