More fish and weight

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-05-09] [Hit: ]
Therefore, the extra weight of the fish when you add it into the container will just be balanced out by the buoyant force.-A.Kreisl.........
If a fish is suspended in water, would the container holding the fish and water weigh more?

No I don't think the container would weigh more when you add a fish in it.

When the fish is suspended in water, it experiences a downward weight force and an upward buoyant force. The two must be of the same magnitude and in opposite directions for the fish to be SUSPENDED. Therefore, the extra weight of the fish when you add it into the container will just be balanced out by the buoyant force.

A.Kreisl... that could be true and false at the same time if the mass of the fish is large enough it could weigh the bag down depending on how much the bag can carry

most likely yes but it is also to do with the surface area of fish and excess volume of the container
