    A boy is carrying a fish in one hand and a bucket full of water in the other hand. He then places the fish in the bucket and thinks that in accordance with Archimedes' principle he is now carrying less weight as weight of fish will reduce due to up thrust. Is he right?

    Answer:

                    No. When he places the fish in the water in the bucket, the weight of fish is reduced due to upthrust but the weight of water is increased by the same amount so that the total weight carried by the boy remains the same.
