The turn "weight" refers to the mass of an object on the planet earth. In simple turns how much does it weigh? Water weighs the same frozen as it does in a liquid. The density changes but the weight remains the same.
Yes weight is only the effect gravity has on a mass. Thats why you will weigh differently on the moon, but your mass is still the same. The DENSITY and therefore the VOLUME of the water may vary (as a lot of other substances) but the mass reamains the same
Ok, do you mean the same amount of Ice as water, or the same amount of water in the water and the ice?
The liquid is more dense, but does NOT weigh more. Poor puzzle.
