Answer:

A. The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t move the weight.

Explanation:

We must remember the definition of work, which says that work is equal to the product of mass by the distance displaced. In this case, the athlete only does work when he lifts the weight from the ground to the point where he holds the weight suspended.

So when he's holding the weight, he doesn't do any work.

In the lab you place a beaker that is half full of water (density pw ) on a scale. You now use a light string to suspend a piece
Radda [10]

Answer:

N2- N1 = \rho_{w}  V g

Explanation:

Let's use for this exercised the equilibrium relationship

        ∑ F = 0

        N -W = 0

        N = W = mg

Let's use density redefinition

       ρ = m / v

       m = ρ V

       N₁ = (ρ V) g

Repeat for when the liquid is submerged, in this case an upward thrust appears as a result of the water dispensed (rgow)

        N₂ + B - W = 0

        N₂ = W - B

        B = m_{water} g

        \rho_{w} = m / V

         m_{w}  =  \rho_{w}  V

        N = ρ V g -  \rho_{w}  Vg

        N2 = N1 +   \rho_{w}  V g

        N2- N1 = \rho_{w}  V g
