TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.For my example the water and the boat experience the same gravity. -
TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.50 yrs ago that's what we did in school. When we used mass it was in grams, when we used weight it was in pounds. So, yes, to me...

TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.There's no "fundamental misunderstanding" on MY part. Mass and weight definitions haven't changed in 50 yrs. I went to school when...

TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.Assuming I didn't miss something - which is why I started this thread in the first place. School was a VERY long time ago. Just tell...

TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.My reply doesn't change regardless of who you are. I already answered the question. (Ed- Or, I should say, the question has already...

TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.YOU brought it up by complaining about my use of mass instead of weight, when you've already conceded that the answer is the same using...

TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.Obviously is does make a difference since you complained about me using mass instead of weight. So you need to answer your own question...

I think it would be a fun experiment to see what happens as you lower the force of gravity. I've watched several 'water' experiments...

TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.I learned this 50 yrs ago. You, yourself, just pointed out the connection between weight and mass. Or are you saying using the mass of...

Clements put a lot of thought into the physics before he wrote that. In that case I agree with the others.

TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.Exactly my thought at the time. *thumbsup* (My brain was thinking in weights, which is how I learned it, but when I posted I went to...

TheOldDog replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.I love Mission of Gravity! There was nothing in there that seemed odd at all. (I thought the use of a bowl instead of the outer surface...
