What will happen to the weight reading if a rock is dropped into water?
It depends what the weight reading was originally measuring. If it was measuring the weight of the experimenter and the rock they were holding, and the water is not being held by them, then the weight will decrease by the weight of the rock. If it was measuring the weight of the water into which the rock it dropped, then it will increase by the weight of the rock. If it was measuring the weight of something totally unrelated to the experiment, then dropping the rock will have no measurable effect on the reading of the weight. Context needs to be given for the weight reading for a proper answer to be given.
