Questions and Answers

The incorrect step in the procedure is to immediately weigh the metal block using a spring balance after removing it from the water. Why is this incorrect?

  • The weight of the metal block should be measured while it's still submerged in water.
  • The metal block will have absorbed water, which will affect the weight measurement.
  • The metal block needs to be dried thoroughly before weighing. (correct)
  • The spring balance is not accurate enough to measure the weight of the metal block.
  • The angle of reflection of sound is always equal to the angle of incidence.
