Question
Describe simple experiments to prove that solids have mass
✓
Answer
Have mass – A solid has mass
A: A simple scale– is taken, as shown below
B: A solid is placed– on one side of the scale, causes the scale tilts towards one side.
Conclusion– The scale tilts due to the mass of the solid hence all solids have mass.
