Question

establishing the relation between loss in weight of a soil when fully immresd in top water

Answer 1

Answer:

Since density of tap water is 1g cm-3, the volume of water collected in the measuring cylinder gives the mass of water displaced by the solid, when it is completely immersed in water. It is found that this is equal to the difference in weight of solid in air and in water i.e., the loss in weight of solid.
