is it 59.8 N?
The mass of water m = w/g = 9.8/9.81 ~ 1 kg.
The rock mass M = W/g = 5 kg
Total mass being weighed by the scale = 6 kg, so the weight on the scale is 58.8 N.
All that buoyancy stuff has no bearing on how much mass is sitting on the scale.
scale reading=scale reading when rock is above water surface+buoyant force
=9.8+1=10.8 N …………Answer
