My interesting thing I want to say

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

I must say that in any gas (eg, air) and the law of Archimedes. There is actual comic question the heavier - 1 t 1 t of iron or wood? Without thinking, usually meet that 1 ton of iron is heavier; thought, say 1 m - it is 1 m and a weight of 1 ton of iron, wood, and what else is the same. But YI Perelman argues that the harder it will be 1 ton of wood. Here is how he proves it: "The fact that Archimedes' principle applies not only to liquids, but also to gases. Every body in the air "loses" of its weight as much as the body weight of the displaced volume of air. Wood and iron, too, of course, lose in the air of their weight. To get their true weight, you need to "loss" to add. Therefore, the true weight of the tree in this case is 1 m + air volume weight of wood; the true weight of the iron is 1 m + weight of the air in the amount of iron. However, one of the tree T occupies a much larger volume than 1 ton of iron (15 times), so the true weight of the tree T 1 greater than the true weight of 1 t iron! More precisely, we would have to say, the true weight of the tree which is in the air weighs 1 ton, more than the true weight of iron, which weighs in the air as 1 ton. Since 1 ton of iron occupies a volume m3 1.8 and 1 ton of wood - 2 m3, the difference in the weight of the displaced air should be about 2.5 kg. That's how one ton of wood actually heavier than 1 ton of iron! "

Every time something is translated from one language to the other, there are bound to be errors, and misinterpretation that in the language it's translated it, it means something totally different, a simple example is looking at Newton's Laws and seeing how people over time interpreted it, and gave wrong information and treated as a law when it was just a definition, or vice - versa who knows, only Newton maybe.

Yeah, I don't really get the reason of the post tho :P I only know it says a ton of wood is heavier than a ton of iron.

OpenStudy (tylerd):

a ton of wood is heavier then a ton of iron under what circumstances?

That's my question :/
