Which of the Glass has more water?
A?
B?
C?
D?

Following archimedes principle, it should be B.
For those who are familiar with the story of Eureka! Eureka!!.
You will realise that most scientific discoveries are by chance..

Is C a Hollow object?

E

B of course!

D of course

Looks like B

B because a pin is the least in weight

B

Archimedes principle: Weight of object immersed equals weight of liquid displaced.

B has negligible weight, occupying negligible space in the cup, hence more water in the cup.

What you wrote there is not Archimedes principle. According to Archimede's principles, when an object is immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas), it experiences a loss in weight equal to the mass of the liquid displaced.

C : displaced more water as the heaviest object

The volume measurements on all cups remains the same

Verdict: each cup has same water volume

B : displaced less water
C : displaced more water

What what have you said now... what's the difference? You need to read and know more about Applications of laws.

What’s the content of glass C? Battery or eraser(rubber)

he is right

None of them have water in them. The eraser and the earplug would float if they were in a glass with water. Also the paperclip and the scissors would have a partial magnification affect going on because of the way water displaces light.

No he isn't! It's volume not weight.

What if the other three items, except the pin, have equal weight, thus creating similar effect 🤔

state the principle and is relation to the question

falcon01:
Is C a Hollow object?

the hollow occupied some volume.

It B it has the lightest object and the most water because when we remove the objects the water level Will fall

It's B for me.

B

Don’t know the weight of each of the objects so can’t say. It is evident from the content of the water level through all the samples! It is possible all the objects have the same Weight as well as Mass!

how Archimedes principle take enter this one sir?

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics.

There’s a difference between his statement and your statement. You wrote “Weight of object immersed equals weight of liquid displaced”. That is not the Archimedes’ Principle.

Your statement also can’t be correct because weight of the object immersed may not necessarily equal the weight of liquid displaced.

For example, imagine an iPhone that happens to weigh 1000kg, and a Toyota Highlander that also weighs 1000kg.
Would both objects displace the same amount/weight of water if dropped in a swimming pool that was filled to the brim?
No, they will not, the Highlander will displace more water because it has a bigger volume than the iPhone.

Volume is the determinant factor here, not weight.

You are very smart

all what you just stated though in line with Archimedes' principle, can only lead to conclusion about the objects relative weight and notthing conclusive about their volumes.
The glass with more water is suppose to be the one having object with least volume immersed into it and when I look, intuitively, the least volume object is the office pin and so the glass with the office pin is my own answer.
Though same as yours but I see no need or relwvance for Archimedes's principle here.
