Multiple Choice

When a container of water is placed on a laboratory scale, the scale reads 120 g. Now a 20-g piece of copper $\text { (of density } 8.9 \mathrm {~g} / \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 } \text { ) }$
is suspended from a thread and lowered into the water, not touching the bottom of the container. What will the scale now read? The density of water is 1.0 $\mathrm { g } / \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 }$

A) 120 g
B) 138 g
C) 122 g
D) 140 g
