A uniform cylinder of weight 25.0 N is suspended from a newton meter. The cylinder is fully submerged in water, as shown. The reading on the newton meter is 10.0 N. The water is replaced by a liquid with a density 10% greater than the density of water. The cylinder remains fully submerged. What is the new reading on the newton meter?

1. A8.5 N
2. B9.0 N
3. C11.0 N
