Tips	From a scale, suspend the “bucket” and from the “bucket” suspend the solid cylinder. Note the scale reading before and after lowering the solid cylinder into a full container of water. Catch the displaced water as it overflows and put it into the “bucket.” The weight of this water will equal the buoyant force and return the scale reading to its value before the solid cylinder was lowered into the water.
