Hi guys, i was hoping to get an explanation for something that is bugging me. QUESTION - An evacuated flask weighs 350g and with air present it weighs 356.3g ... now i understand that the weight will increase due to the fact that air weighs something, but the part that confuses me is if we consider the fact that the particles are moving around inside te flask and not touching the flask.
What would be a good way of explaining this ?? I am thinking along the lines of the flask weight is the sum of the flask + contents ... but its far from an ellegant explanation.
Thanks
Jayse
