Steel Spheres Density

PIRA:

Area:

Topic:

Concept: 
Density and Buoyancy

The steel Spheres Density experiment has two steel spheres.  Holding them, they feel like they have different masses.  However they have EQUAL masses (see the picture on the balance).  Placed in water, the equal masses show they have much different densities.
