...its loss. If this loss be subtracted from the loss of the two when combined, the remainder will be the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the lighter body. We may then proceed as before; divide the weight of the body by this weight, and...

...deduct this difference from the known weight of water, required to fill the bottle, and the remainder is the weight of a volume of water, equal to the volume of the solid in powder; then, as this is to the known weight of water, required to fill the bottle : :...

...scale supporting the body. This additional weight, according to the principle of Archimedes, represents the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the body. The density of copper is thus "TT^T =8'8. (2.) Liquid bodies.—From one of the scales of...

...That is to say, the weight in air is divided by the loss of weight in water, which latter is obviously the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the immersed body, and the quotient gives us the weight of the latter in terms of the weight of an...
