In space, judging mass and size has been refined to an art thanks to Newton. Not only does his math draw out the hows and whys of elliptical orbits, his optical studies of the visible and invisible electromagnetic spectrum allow us to read the composition of the stars and planets from here. The orbits of the known planets was calculated and an additional planet was inferred when theses numbers did not add up right. Prediction is complex and rife with errors. Math and science can bring predictions in line with reality.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, volume is the amount of space it occupies, and density is the mass of an object per unit volume. Weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity, and it is dependent on the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. They are related but distinct properties of an object.
The volume of the object is equal to the difference in weight when submerged in water and when in air, divided by the density of water. Using the formula: Volume = (Weight in air - Weight in water) / Density of water, we have Volume = (10g - 8g) / 1 g/cm^3 = 2 cm^3.
If the object has a regular shape, like a cube or sphere, its volume can be calculated readily from solid geometry. Weight divided by volume gives density. For an irregular shape, one trick for finding volume is to submerge it in a calibrated container of water. The amount of increase in the volume of the water is the volume of the object. * * * * * Mosttly correct but density = mass/volume not weight/volume. Mass is not the same as weight.
The relation between weight and volume -: When the weight of a substance increases, its volume also increases. Two substances may have the same weight but different volumes. (Example: If you have one stack of cotton and iron each of the same weight, they will have different volumes. Volume of cotton > Volume of iron in this case.) Density = Weight/Volume.
An object displaces a volume of a fluid that is equal to its own volume. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The object will experience a buoyant force pushing it upwards in the fluid.
The buoyant force on an object depends only on the weight of the fluid displaced: Fb = Vd*ρf*g Vd may not be the volume of the object; for example: if the object is floating on the liquid surface. Also, there may be other forces acting on the object, such as its weight (Mo*g)
The buoyant force on a submerged object depends on the volume of the object. It is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, which is determined by its volume. The weight of the object itself affects the net force experienced by the object when submerged.

what is the weight of a 6kg object on the surface of Mars
Look at the LAST WORD of the question, they switch it sometimes if it is: Underwater than it is TRUE, If it's Surface of the water than it is FALSE ~
To calculate the weight of an object when the volume is known, you would also need the density of the material the object is made of. By multiplying the volume of the object by its density, you can determine the weight of the object.
The weight of an object is determined by volume, density, and gravity.
Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.
the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object
The buoyant force is determined by the volume of the object displaced in a fluid, not its surface area. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, as described by Archimedes' principle.
Yes, according to Archimedes' principle, when an object floats in a fluid, the weight of the object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This means that the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the object.
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
