Each beaker contains volume of water at density and a ball with volume at a density or . We have (where 2 represents the steel and 1 the ping pong ball). There are three forces on the steel ball: tension (upward), buoyancy (upward), and weight (downward). The ball is in equilibrium so the sum of these forces is zero. We get tension . Now consider the entire container on the right. The total force needed to support it is its total weight, minus the tension in the string. So
The force required to support the left hand container is simply its total weight.
But we already established that . Therefore and the container tips right.
inb4 some retard gets confused about internal forces
inb4 some retard claims I am wrong (you can literally find a video of this exact setup proving I'm right)
inb4 we have to have this thread again
>>11435267they are wrong
>>11435184>>11435225>>11435236you are also wrong
>>11435188you have the right conclusion but with dogshit reasoning, you might as well be wrong
