    Both the buoyancy and the sinker volume are desired to have as many significant figures as possible for precise results. Because they are the numerator and denominator of the expression to compute the liquid. Seeking accurate volume of the sinker is also important. PBS-A03/A04-BA-e-1213...

    If the density of your solid body just deviates slightly from that of distilled water, ethanol • may be used as measuring liquid. However, check beforehand whether the sample is solvent-proof. In addition you must observe the applicable safety regulations when working with ethanol. PBS-A03/A04-BA-e-1213...
