For every object you submerge in water, you displace an equal volume of water and the weight of the water displaced, reduces the weight of the object you submerged by the weight of the water it's displaced... So, if you submerged a condom containing 1 litre of water (which weighs 1 Kg in air) into water, it would weigh only as much as an empty condom... QED. I owe Joel £5.00 | |
