Aim
To show that the loss in weight of a solid in water equals the weight of the water it displaces.
Lower an iron cylinder or a stone on a spring balance into a full overflow can: the loss in weight equals the weight of the water that runs into the measuring cylinder.
What you'll explore
- Loss in weight Weight in air minus weight in the liquid.
- Upthrust More push on the deeper face.
Who it's for
Class 9 physics, for CBSE, ICSE and State boards. It follows the practical in your textbook: upthrust, loss in weight, water displaced.
