Your last sentence in the bracket is only correct if it is Fresh water i.e Relative density of 1.000. Otherwise, 2mls will not always equate 2g.

Also, it's a whole new game when temperature and pressure comes into it.

The density of the waters are very important. We don't know if the water is Fresh water, Salt water, Dock water etc. The more impurities the water contains, the denser it becomes.

Since we don't have a range of scientific parameters, for me it is not possible to decide which glass has more water unless you are physically present to conduct a proven scientific examination.

Making a decision from picture image is like a doctor issuing synopsis without seeing the patient for diagnosis.

You are very correct. Density of the fluid, which is a factor in determining it's mass and/or volume, has everything to do with the impurity of the liquid. But on a norm, we assume water is free of impurities unless told otherwise hence, my assertion.

I also did not completely agree with the answer as the weight of an object can't be determined by just looking at it. One can't say because it's bigger, then it's of bigger weight. I only tried schooling the PatrickOkunima who knows a law but didn't attend the laboratory when it's application was being taught. Imagine him saying one can't convert mass to volume. He could as well be an art student who Google is helping to participate in an argument so as to feel important.

Even the video he dropped, he doesn't understand it.

PatrickOkunima:


What you wrote there is not Archimedes principle. According to Archimede's principles, when an object is immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas), it experiences a loss in weight equal to the mass of the liquid displaced.

It should be law of floatation and not Archimedes principle.He made a mistake.

He's correct, stop being confused.

What is law of floatation and what brought about the law of floatation?

richmond500:
normal water is the water you drink at home which has room temperature.

TBH, You do not need those parameters to answer the question

I've said this already. If you want me to answer this as a bus conductor doing "flip-bottle-and-chop challenge" in a garage....then I will reason as that.

But if you want it answered as a scientist, you must bring in all your gears. Scientist works with facts and not assumptions.

Mind you, everybody's normal water is different, with varying densities even under room temperature.

For you to mention room temperature shows that you are already bringing in scientific parameters.

Also, room temperature itself is arbitrary relative to ambient temperature.

May I ask, are you a scientist?

I was a science student, I am not a scientist but a data analyst.
The question doesn't need much scientific application, you are just forming Isaac Newton for nothing, what you need to answer that question on FP is basic IQ.
NL has people from every category in life, some person's here has no idea what density means.
The question is meant for everyone, if you answer it the way that people didn't get your message, then you haven't answered the question.
A philosopher will answer the question in a philosophical manner, an agriculturist will answer it differently, a scientist will answer it differently, an economist will have his own terms.
But those aren't necessary, it's a basic question that needs basic answer

B because it contain smaller object.

DrayZee:

You sure?
Imagine an iPhone that happens to weigh 100kg, and a Toyota Highlander that also weighs 100kg.
Would both objects displace the same amount/weight of water if dropped in a swimming pool that was filled to the brim?

Yes ...if the weight of the water can't displace water enough it would float

I've answered it for both levels on the thread. I do understand there are bricklayers and danfo drivers on NL.

So whatever side of the spectrum you belong, I've provided answers that suit the level. You just need to read through my posts and see which one is for your community.

I don't claim I'm Charles Darwin or Isaac Newton. But, yes I'm a scientist.

CivilianJTF:
B

Archimedes principle: Weight of object immersed equals weight of liquid displaced.

B has negligible weight, occupying negligible space in the cup, hence more water in the cup.

#Secondary school physics#

Saying nonsense with confidence.

Kingpin1000:
Following archimedes principle, it should be B.

B is the answer but not based on Archimedes' Principle.

For those who choose B as the correct answer, what of if the paper clip is made of dense metal like osmium or platinum. If made of any of the two metals, the paper clip will be much heavier than the objects in the other jars and going by archimide's principle, as explained in the post above, will displace more water.

Nezan:


Is volume not directly proportional to weight? Stop arguing blindly

No it is not!

U can't answer a question that suits all levels.
Since you try to bring my level here, Ur answer didn't suit my level cos if it does, you will be answering that question with a programming language like python.

So imagine a data analyst like me answering that question with python or just using the basic excel, I am sure 98% of NLders won't understand, Even u may not understand a single code I wrote.
So better to answer it the way it was asked.
Why am I even arguing this with u? Abeg goodnight, happy EID holiday...

Donmobi:

That's the point.
1/3rd of the volume immersed displaces1/3rd volume of fluid.
Same goes if it's fully immersed, it displaces it's whole volume.

read your comment again and see if it makes sense that one third a ball will displace one third the water it is immersed in.

What I'm saying is there are two answers I've giving on the thread.

One is looking at the face value of the items in the glasses.

And the other is the scientific methodology.

The two are on the thread. You wouldn't pick on the former because it's the common view, requires no stress, no logical thinking or fact based. Instead you jump right on the scientific approach even whilst you admitted that you are not a scientist.

I would never use your Python to answer the question because it's not my field. I'm sure if the question can be tackled with IT data's you would do justice from your point of view.

Happy wkend.

The Mass of the Immersed water will settle this case because according to " Archimede's Principle states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, and this is fundamental to the equilibrium of a body floating in still water. A body floating freely in still water experiences a downward force acting on it due to gravity"

that's a law in physics friend.

Each of those objects immersed in the liquid displaced an equivalent volume of what they occupy according to Archimedes thus B has more water than the rest considering volume

OllyArt:
B because a pin is the least in weight

volume

Some people are just arguing blindly.

Objects with different weights but the same volume (maybe size and shape) will displace the same volume of water provided they're both submerged in water.

Objects with different volumes but the same weight will not displace the same amount of water when submerged in water.

It is the volume that matters! I hate when people don't like taking to corrections.
