(Solved)
The figure below shows a metallic rod of length 10cm and uniform cross-sectional area 4cm2 suspended from spring balance with 7.5 cm of its length immersed in water. The density of the material is 1.5g/cm3.The density of water is 1 g/cm3

Determine:
i) The mass of the rod
ii) The upthrust acting on the rod
iii) The reading 0f the spring balance
iv) The reading of the spring balance when the rod is wholly immersed in water
