To determine the mass of a liquid using an electronic balance?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the mass of a liquid using an electronic balance, first weigh an empty beaker and record its mass. Next, add the liquid to the beaker and weigh it again, recording the new mass. Subtract the mass of the empty beaker from the total mass to find the mass of the liquid alone. This method ensures an accurate measurement of the liquid's mass. Proper technique in using the electronic balance is essential for reliable results.

how do you determine the mass of a liquid using an electronic balance ?:S Anyone knows how ?

Take a beaker. Weight the beaker and record the mass. Add the liquid to the beaker. Weight the beaker with the liquid in it. Record the mass. Then subtract your first mass to get the mass of the liquid only.
 
thank you for your help. :-)
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
