if i have a block of cotton and a block of iron each containing a weight of 100 kg when measured on a weighing machine, in reality which one is heaver than the other, which one is heavier and why?
This question was in my physics worksheet. The teacher gave the following answer: the apparent weight of both of them is the same, but the buoyant force of cotton is high since the volume of cotton is more than iron. Therefore, true weight of cotton is more. Does this answer make sense? What is the right answer?
