Let us say the stone is suspended in a medium by an ideal spring, which displays the "weight" of the stone in that medium. The stone reads "w" pounds in weight in air. The same stone will read less in water (w-x); the stone, being a solid, displaces an amount of water equal to the volume of the stone, and the stone will weigh less by the weight of the water (x). So in this case, the two weights have to be different, no matter how small the stone is, unless the stone has the same density as water or the stone is hollow with no crust thicknesses and a tiny hole to let water in -- all purely hypothetical.

If a boat is floating in water with stones in it then stones are put in water what will happen to water level?

Same as when these stones were in boat when the stone in boat ,water need more V to make float power the same weight as the stone's. so lower level when these stones are in water.


Can objects of the same weight have different buoyancies?

Sure. A small stone can have the same weight as an inflated party balloon. But the balloon has more buoyancy, so it floats on water, while the stone sinks like a stone.


What is a stone's mass in water?

The mass of a stone in water is the mass of the stone outside water. The mass of an object is always its mass. (This assumes we are not discussing the theory of relativity.) On Earth, or the Moon or in water or not, mass is mass. What might be relevant, however, is the weight of a stone in water compared to the weight of a stone outside the water. Weight and mass are different. If you hold a stone in water and hold the same stone in air, you can feel a difference in the force you must apply to support the stone. In water, the stone feels a buoyant force equal the the weight of the water displaced. That is Archimedes principle. There is a difference in the apparent weight of a stone in water and a stone out of water equal to the eight of the water displaced.


What is weight of stone compared to water?

A kilogram of stone weighs as much as a kilogram of water. A cubic meter of stone weighs about 2800 kg while a cubic meter of water weighs exactly 1000 kg.


How much does a stone weight in salt water?

Correct formulation: "How much does a stone weigh in salt water?"Answer: The same as it does in the air, water, anywhere.


Why does a person lift a heavy stone immersed in water as compared to air?

If the question is asking "for what reason would a person lift a heavy stone immersed in water as opposed to air?" then the answer is buoyancy. When immersed in water there will be an upward force on the bottom of the stone due to the volume of water it has displaced. This upward force will make the stone seem lighter to the person lifting it by decreasing the amount of force they need to exert to lift it.


Why does a stone feel lighter when it was under water?

because the upthrust force of the water acting on the stone was pushing the stone upwards meaning it was acting against the downwards weight of the stone (its weight). This meant that the downwards force was decreased and therefore felt lighter :)


Why doesn't a stone float?

A stone does not float because it is denser than water, meaning it weighs more than the water it displaces. The buoyant force acting on an object in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. Since the stone is heavier than the water it displaces, it sinks instead of floating.


What is your weight when float on water on back?

Your weight is the same on land as on the water.


Water weight ice weight?

Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.


If a rock is put into a container of water will the weight stay the same?

The weight of the rock will be lessened by the weight of the same volume of water. If the rock weighs less than that volume of water, it will float (as does pumice). Thus, if you had a rock that has a density (weight/volume) of 2 times the same volume of water, it would weigh one half of its dry weight when in water.


Why does a piece of stone sink in water but a ship with huge weight floats according to Archimedes principle?

A piece of stone sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water, leading to a net downward force. In contrast, a ship with a large weight can float because its shape and design displace enough water to create an upward buoyant force that exceeds its weight, as per Archimedes' principle of buoyancy.
