A water tank put on scale measuring 50 Kg $50 kg$ , inside the tank a fully submerged balloon tied with a thread to the tank bottom.

if the thread was cut, will there be a different reading on the scale (momentarily until the balloon reach the surface) ?

If the thread was cut, will there be a different reading on the scale (momentarily until the balloon reach the surface) ?

iI believe that the forces downward are not only the mass but the water pressure at the tank bottom multiplied by the area. A balloon being submerged will cause displacement and raise water level thus total pressure of tank bottom, that can be observed during the process of submerging the balloon and until you tie it to the tank bottom, only then the buoyancy force will cancel the added pressure until that thread is cut .
