Explanation:

Step1: Analyze weight change

The balloon initially weighs 10 grams. Then 50 grams of water is added. Adding mass (water) to the balloon will make its weight increase.

Step2: Calculate final weight

To find the final weight, add the initial weight of the balloon and the weight of the added water. The initial weight is 10 grams, and the water is 50 grams. So, \( 10 + 50 = 60 \) grams.

Answer:

The weight of the balloon \(\boldsymbol{\text{increases}}\) after the water is added. When Gil weighs the balloon again, it will weigh \(\boldsymbol{60}\) grams.
