A block of metal submerged in two different fluids while suspended from a spring scale.
A block of metal with density \(\rho_B\) is suspended from a spring scale and completely submerged in a beaker of fluid with density \(\rho_1\). The spring scale indicates an apparent weight of \(W_1\). The block is then removed and completely submerged in a different beaker containing a fluid of density \(\rho_2\). Which of the following is a correct expression for the apparent weight \(W_2\) of the block while it is submerged in the second fluid?
