1. Will the vessel of water with a floating block weigh any more than without the block? If so, how much? Explain
2. Assume a can is completely filled and preparations are ready for catching the overflow water. A block, which will float, is now carefully placed in the can and the overflow water is caught and measured. The experiment is then repeated with gasoline in the can. Discuss the relative volumes and weights of the two overflow liquids.
3. If the “true weight” of a body is determined as the weight of that body in a vacuum, will the body weigh any less if immersed in air? Explain and give an example to illustrate.
