A piece of brass weighs 175 gf in air and 150 gf when fully immersed in water. The density of water is `1.0gcm^(-3)`. (i) What is the volume of the brass piece ?
(ii) Why does the brass piece weigh less in water?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(i) `25cm^(3)` (ii) due to upthrust.
