4 How do you get the weight of the heavy solid when it is completely immersed in the liquid?
Depends on the circumstances.
I like to calculate things because it's easy and quick...and I hate lab work. So given the choice, I'd find what the solid is made of...find it's density (30seconds work with a decent physical chemists' almanac or wikipedia) then measure the solid's dimensions. Calculate the solid's volume and then finally it's mass using the aforementioned density.
Which sounds harder than it is. You could do it in minutes.
But things are not always so easy...maybe you don't know what the solid is, or if it is impure...or maybe it's an odd shape not easily measured or at a temperature that you don't control. Occasionally you'll just get a really weird compound that has no recorded density. Rare but happens.
This way you'll get the mass of the object...which at ground-level is almost identical to the weight of the object. Now...you can measure the weight using a spring balance or whatever you please whilst submerged and it'll be correct....but in that case the weight will be nowhere near the mass. So it depends what is sincerely meant when you say "weight".
This is because (crudely put) weight describes how much force you must apply to support an object. That force is less when the object is submerged and so it weighs less. Mass, however, is constant for the object.
I apologise if that's a patronising distinction but it was required a mention. When I see "weight" used in a question like this, I assume mass is meant. But perhaps it's just a sneaky question.
What else can I help you with?
How heavy is a gallon of liquid Mercury?
liquid mercury's weight is 30 times the weight of water. Water's weight is 8 lbs per gallon, 30 times the weight of water will be 240lbs for a gallon of liquid mercury.
How heavy is Yoshi?
Yoshi's weight can vary depending on the game, but he is usually portrayed as a medium-weight character in the Mario series, not as heavy as characters like Bowser but not as light as characters like Toad.
Is rain a solid or a gas or a liquid?
Rain is a liquid because it is water.
Why is a brick heavy when its out of water?
A brick is heavy because it is made from dense materials like clay or concrete, which have high mass and weight. The absence of water in a brick does not significantly affect its weight because the dry materials themselves are still heavy.
What is heavy from the front but not heavy at the back?
A car's hood is heavy at the front because it houses the engine and components, but the trunk at the back is typically lighter as it contains less weight.
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.
Is a liquid heavy or light?
Well it can be either light of heavy depending on the amount of liquid and the density of liquid. 1 Litre of water - 1 Kilogram Oil is heavier than water; it sinks to the bottom For more information on liquid density and liquid weight search Google
When was Heavy Liquid created?
Heavy Liquid was created in 2005.
Why is it easier to lift a heavy stone when fully immersed in water?
Because an object immersed in water is buoyed upward by a force equal to the weight of the displaced water, so the stone's net weight in water is less than it is in air, by a difference of roughly 62 pounds for each cubic foot of its volume.
How heavy is a gallon of liquid Mercury?
liquid mercury's weight is 30 times the weight of water. Water's weight is 8 lbs per gallon, 30 times the weight of water will be 240lbs for a gallon of liquid mercury.
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
No, whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. An object with a lower density than water will float, while an object with a higher density will sink. The weight alone does not determine if the object will sink or float.
How buoyant is a 55gal plastic drum?
A 55-gallon plastic drum can typically float when it is empty, as it is designed to hold liquids. However, when filled with liquid, it will become heavy and sink. The buoyancy will depend on the weight of the liquid inside and the weight of the drum itself.

Why a ship which is made of heavy steel does not sink?
This is explained following Archimedes' principle; that is named after Archimedes of Syracuse who first discovered this law in 212 B.C.For more objects, floating and sunken, and generally in fluids; Archimedes' principle may be stated thus in terms of forces that; according to Archimedes; sates that "Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object".It is to be clarified that for a sunken object the volume of displaced fluid is the volume of the object, and for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object.More specifically: Buoyancy = weight of displaced fluid.In simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is going to be equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g.Thus, among completely submerged objects with equal masses, objects with greater volume have greater buoyancy. This explains why the ship floats although made of heavy steel because it has bigger volume and accordingly is having higher buoyancy that keeps it floating.
