I reread my posting and realized that it contains some embarrassing language mistakes. I wrote:
"The ping pong ball displaces the amount of water which equals its weigh. This is
"under the water" volume if the ping pong ball were floating. So one can image
that this the amount of water is poured to the LHS whereas the water poured to
the RHS is equal to the volume of the steel ball."
Instead, I should have written (well, it might still contain English mistakes; hopefully no physics mistakes :-)):
"If the ping pong ball were floating, it would displace the amount of water equal to its weigh (the displaced water is equal to the "under the surface level volume of the ping pong ball"). So one can imagine that this is the amount of water poured to the LHS, whereas the water poured to the RHS is equal to the volume of the steel ball."
