nly partiallysubmerged, and by placing weights onthe pan D, it may be made to sink toany required depth. To find the specific gravity of a solidinsoluble in water. Let the weight P, when put on thepan D, sink the instrument to the markA on the stem, in pure distilled water.Remove this weight, and… … Fig. is. 20 EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS. and place the solid then on the pan C, and since the solidwill now lose a part of its weight equal to that of the waterit displaces, more weights must be placed on the pan D to sinkthe instrument to the mark A. Let P be the amount of theseweights. Then P will be…
