...weighing a grain of the powder in air and in water. The difference of the weights in air and water is the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the grain. The density is then the weight in air divided by the difference of the weights. The density... | |

...by the buoyancy of the water, which we have seen is equal to the weight of the water displaced, ie, the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of- the body. This loss of weight of the body while in water, therefore, givea the weight of an equal volume... | |

...weight in water is now determined. The difference between the weight in air and the weight in water is the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the stone, therefore the weight of the stone in air divided by this difference is the specific gravity... | |

...submerged part of the section represents the buoyancy per unit of length of the body at that section. Hence the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the part of the body immediately over A B« ft is equal to the vertical pressure on AB n ft. The same applies... | |

...water is 40.0 — 35.3 = 4.7 gm. This is the buoj'ant force of the water upon the brass, and hence the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the piece of brass. The specific gravity of this piece of brass is then — = 8.5. Why ? Illustration 2.... | |

...The weight in water subtracted from the weight in air gives the weight of water displaced, which is the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the substance. If the solid should be lighter than water, the method is the same, except that when weighed... | |

...substance weighs in air 125 grams; in water it weighs 100 grams; the difference, which is 25 grams, is the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the substance weighed. Dividing the weight in air (125 grams) by the 25 grams, the specific gravity of... | |
