Only in the metric system. The metric system bases its unit of weight, the gram, on the weight of one millilitre of water. Therefore one litre of water (or other liquid which is mostly water) weighs one kilogram (1000 grams)

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.


What ingredients are the same in weight and volume?

WATER


Is the same amount of sand and water the same weight?

No, sand and water do not weigh the same for the same volume. Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, while the density of sand varies but is generally higher, so the weight of the same volume of sand will be greater than that of water.


What is water buoyancY?

The difference between an object's weight, and the weight of water with the same volume as the object.


Why is the volume of 1 gram of water the same as 1 gram of ice?

It is not. It varies slightly. The volume of ice will be larger than with water when water and ice are the same weight.


Is the weight and volume of water butter eggs and milk the same?

The weight of eggs, water and milk are measured in ounces or cups. The volume of water, eggs, and milk is measured as a liquid. The volume of butter is measured as a solid.


Box A and Box B have the same weight. If you placed each box into a beaker of water which one will displace more water?

It depends on the volume of the box. The bigger the volume, the larger amount of water that will be displaced.


What is the difference in weight between ice and water?

The difference in weight between ice and water is that ice is less dense than water, so a given volume of ice weighs less than the same volume of water.


Which has a larger volume 10L of water or 10L of mercury?

they share the same volume. In the Metric system, Liters are a measurement of volume, not of weight. Therefore, 10 Liters of water would share the same volume as 10 Liters of Mercury.


Is a fluid ounce of water the same as a fluid ounce of liquid detergent?

They are the same volume and very close to the same weight.


Does the wood float in water cause the wood has greater volume than the water?

Yes, in respect of samples of wood and water with the same weight. Before you put the wood in the water, the bulk of the water is supporting a volume of water at the surface, whose shape is the same as the submerged part of the wood. Wood has a lower density so the weight of the wood below the surface is lower than the weight of the water it displaced, and the weight of the wood above the surface makes up the difference, so the water is supporting the same total weight as before.


A block is placed in a tank of water and floats as shown The water level rises to height Δh1 The block is then taken out and a block of the same weight but smaller volume that also floats is placed?

Archimedes principle states that a floating body displaces its own weight of water. The density of the water is fixed so the volume displaced by a floating body is is the same for floating bodies of the same weight. The water level will still be delta h1 as the volume of the block is not relevant to the amount of water displaced.
