Two solid pieces, one of steel and the other of aluminium when immersed completely in water have equal weights. When the solid pieces are weighed in air
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In air, force of gravity acts on metals. Thus, these have their actual weight. Atomic weight of
steel, i.e., iron is 56 and that of aluminium is 27. Hence, it can be said that in air the weight of aluminium is half the weight of steel.
