“Eureka", I'm also Archimedes!!!

Classical Mechanics Level 3

You are in your room,doing some Brilliant calculations.

But You're a bit bored.

So you wanna make fun.

You take 10N of Water and 10N of Plastic Bottles .

Then you ask your friends, “Which one is Really Mass ive ?

Do you think you know "Which is Really Massive?"

You might realized that I meant ‘Massive' to be Having Greater Mass !

[ Note: Keep the Archimedes's Law in your Brain!]

As they both Weight 10N, their Mass must be equ, of course! The Water. The Plastic Bottles.

first, having the same weight does not mean that the mass should also be same because the bodies are also experiencing an upward force exerted by air. so, the third option is wrong.

then, since plastic bottles have greater volume in comparison to water, they would be experiencing greater buoyant force by air. So, in reality the plastic bottles are heavier.

You're right, but not quite . You should've a second look at your first sentence of your Solution.

Yes, third option is wrong, but not for that which you are thinking.

If two object weights same in the same place, and the place is isolated, I mean no atmosphere, then their Mass Must be Equal .

So you just make a small modification in the Solution , and I'll Upvote it!

Because I like your small but very good Solution.

hmm... i get it. its just that i wanted to write this statement in reference to the question and not in general but yes, it is sounding incorrect. Anyway, thanks I have made the change.

This problem is not phrased properly. If the mass is the same then the weight is also the same. You are talking about the apparent weight, due to the atmosphere
