A piece of Aluminium is weighed in air and has an apparent mass of 4.0000 kg (that many
significant digits). What is its true weight ?
Remember the Arcmedes Principle:
"a body totally or partially immersed in a fluid is subject to an upward force equal in magnitude to the weight of fluid it displaces."
Now using this principle:
mass of aluminium= 4.0000 kg
Density of aluminium = 2700.0 kg/m^3
Volume of aluminium = Mass/density
Volume = (4.0000/2700.0)*1000 = 1.4815 L
Now density of Air = 1.2041 gm/L
Volume displaced = 1.4815*1.2041 = 1.7839 gm of Air
Apparent loss of mass in aluminium = 1.7839 gm
True weight = 4.0000 kg + 1.7839 gm = 4.0019 kg
