(C) The total weight carried by the boy is the sum of the weights of the boy's hands,the bucket,the water,and the fish.When the fish is placed in the bucket,the system consisting of the bucket,water,and fish remains the same in terms of total mass.Since the total mass of the system (bucket + water + fish) does not change,the total weight exerted on the boy's hands remains constant.The buoyant force acting on the fish is an internal force within the bucket-water-fish system and does not affect the total weight supported by the boy.Therefore,the weight carried by him remains the same as before.

$A$ boy carries a fish in one hand and a bucket (not full) of water in the other hand. If he places the fish in the bucket,the weight now carried by him (assume that water does not spill) is:
