Total mass on bottom scale
"m=1.1+2.1=3.2\\ kg" Volume of metal block
"V=\\frac{3.2}{5200}=6.15\\cdot 10^{-4}\\ m^3" Mass of water displaced
"m_w=1000(6.15\\cdot 10^{-4})=0.615\\ kg" The hanging scale reading:
"F_1=(3.2-0.615)(9.8)=25.33\\ N" The lower scale reading
"F_2=(3.2+0.615)(9.8)=37.39\\ N"
