e density of solids, because itgives us an easymethod of find-ing the volumeof an irregularsolid, as ex-plained above.The loss ofweight in gramsis numericallyequal to the vol-ume in cubiccentimeters. To find thedensity of a sub-stance heavier than water we proceed as follows : Find the weight in… … FIG. 28. — Finding the density of a body heavierthan water. 44 PHYSICS OF THE HOUSEHOLD This gives the weight of i c.c. of the substance; that is, itsdensity. For example: If the glass stopper shown in Fig. 28 weighs20 g. in air, and 12 g. in water, the loss in weight is 8 g.;therefore, its volume…
