Weight in air and water, image 2 of 2
Weight in air and water, image 2 of 2. This 0.56 kilogram mass is surrounded by water. It is hanging from a newtonmeter, which shows that it has a weight of 3.5 newtons. Weighed in air, its mass was 5.5 newtons. This reduction in weight is due to the upthrust force of water. For the same mass weighed in air, see image A350/192

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating scientific experiment on the concept of weight in air and water. In this second image of a two-part series, we observe a 0.56 kilogram mass suspended within water. The mass is attached to a newtonmeter, which clearly displays its weight as 3.5 newtons. Interestingly, when the same mass was weighed in air prior to this demonstration, it registered at 5.5 newtons - indicating a significant reduction in weight when submerged in water. This intriguing phenomenon can be attributed to the upthrust force exerted by the surrounding liquid. The image showcases an educational setting, most likely within a school laboratory or science classroom environment. It serves as an excellent visual aid for students studying physics or exploring physical effects related to buoyancy and mass. The photograph not only highlights the practical application of scientific principles but also emphasizes the importance of hands-on experiments in fostering understanding and knowledge acquisition among learners. Captured by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional collection of scientifically-themed visuals, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the intricate world of physics while appreciating its aesthetic appeal.
