Apparent mass?

[Trump]

I have a chem lab report and I was wondering what the difference between mass and apparent mass is? Google wasn't of much help.


Thanks.

Don't you have a text book for this class?

I suspect you have a text book that may be of some use in these situations.

I do, but it's not in the index.

I took two semesters of chemistry last year, and I don't remember ever hearing of "apparent mass". [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I'm tempted to abuse my Rocket Scientist status to give a reasonable sounding, yet completely wrong answer. I can't do it - I think it's against that stupid oath I took when I got my degree and my engineer's ring.

Engineer's ring? What's that?

It's a copper ring that you get if you're Canadian or near-Canadian (read: Minnesota or UP of Michigan). It started with some Canadian school giving out copper rings made from the rubble of some bridge that collapsed because it was poorly designed, I guess as some sort of memorial and reminder to do better next time. I lost mine on a Southwest flight from Albuquerque to San Diego.

Very nice. I was wondering if I got gypped, but not being near Canada it makes sense.

I doubt there was enough metal in the Tacoma Narrows to do the same for US grads; just have to wait for the big one to hit.
