Water in the bowl with a triple beam balance to measure the mass of a rock.
If you ignore the water, what the impact would be to calculate the density?

Triple Beam Balance Game There's Water On The Pan Of A Triple Beam Balance As You Measure The Mass Of A Rock. What Would The Effect Be?

Depends on a number of different things.
1. Did you pan the balance to zero with water in the rock before you add? If yes, then you have succeeded in measuring the mass of the rock. If not, skip the next question.
2. How much water was in the trash? A few drops is not really important if you need very, very precise in their calculations.
3. What is the mass of the rock? The greater the mass, the effect of less water on their density calculations. If the mass of the rock is very, very small, then it will impact on their density. When the mass is much higher than the actual weight, its density is higher than calculated for the actual density.
In most cases, if it is a laboratory of science at school, then afew drops of water does nothing.
