Premium Framed Print : Equal volumes of different materials

Equal volumes of different materials
Equal volumes of different materials. From left to right are blocks of brass, balsa wood and polystyrene. Although they are the same size, the mass of the blocks decreases markedly from left to right, as the materials have different densities

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a trio of blocks, each representing different materials with equal volumes but varying densities. From left to right, we observe blocks made of brass, balsa wood, and polystyrene. Despite their identical sizes, the mass of these blocks noticeably diminishes as we move from left to right due to the distinct densities possessed by each material. The demonstration presented in this image takes place in a school laboratory setting where students are exploring the physical effects of density. The contrasting properties of these materials offer an excellent opportunity for scientific exploration and understanding. On the far left stands a solid block of brass, known for its high density and heavy weight. Next in line is a block crafted from balsa wood - significantly lighter than brass due to its lower density yet still maintaining its structural integrity. Finally, on the far right sits a block composed of polystyrene; it appears almost weightless compared to its counterparts owing to its extremely low density. This photograph serves as a powerful visual representation that highlights how objects with equal volumes can possess vastly different masses based on their respective densities. It exemplifies one aspect of physics that encourages us to question and investigate our surroundings while deepening our knowledge about various materials' physical properties.
