um let me think YES
The hydrostatic balance was an accurate balance that could weigh objects both in water and in the air. Galileo got the idea from the "Eureka" story about Archimedes and the King of Syracuse's crown in which Archimedes had to prove if the king's crown was made of real gold or not. Galileo used some of Archimedes ideas and built his own invention which he called the hydrostatic balance.
Galileo's hypothesis in the falling objects experiment was that all objects, regardless of their weight, fall at the same rate in the absence of air resistance. He believed that the acceleration due to gravity was constant for all objects. This hypothesis later led to his law of falling bodies.
He was on to a brilliant idea about how parallax can be used to estimate some astronomical distances.
Galileo Galilei did not invent the thermometer.

Please do not answer if you are quessing. I see many wrong answers on this site. Galileo does not have mercury in it. It is water and a light weight petroleum mixure. Also, glass thermometers no longer have mercury.
The concept that air has weight was first demonstrated by Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian scientist, in 1643. He did this by inventing the mercury barometer, which showed that air pressure decreases as elevation increases.
That all bodies-no matter what the shape or weight-would fall at the same speed

Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building. Don't make the objects too small, otherwise, air resistance will interfere with your experiments.Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building.

The lead weight and feather would fall at the same rate in a vacuum where there is no air resistance to slow them down. In the absence of air resistance, all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. This is demonstrated in Galileo's famous experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Anything with mass has weight; air has mass, therefore it has weight.
Scientists use the dinosaur's bones to estimate its weight. They weight the bones and then they consider whether the particular species of dinosaur was bulky or thin. They mearly estimate the weight of the creature's body fat and calculate the final weight.
To find out whether the weight of the object changed the speed at which it fell.
