Detailed Solution

While drawing water from a well, the bucket of water appears to be heavier as it comes out of the water.
The bucket of water appears to be heavier as it comes out of the water, while a bucket of water weighs lighter inside the well than when outside the water. This is because when a bucket is immersed in water, it experiences an upthrust force which acts equally against the weight of the bucket. Therefore, the weight of the bucket is less when it is inside water. However, as the bucket is taken out from the water, there is no upthrust working, and the bucket feels heavier than it was inside.
