Mengapakah jisim udara tidak diukur dengan neraca tuas<br>​
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Ia tidak mempunyai badan fizikal.

Penjelasan:

Jisim udara tidak diukur oleh keseimbangan tuas atau keseimbangan berat yang lain kerana mustahil untuk mengukur jisim udara. Hanya dua sifat udara yang dapat diukur seperti kadar aliran dan tekanan. Imbangan tuas mengukur berat bahan-bahan yang mempunyai badan fizikal sehingga sebab itu jisim udara tidak dapat diukur kerana tidak mempunyai badan fizikal. Udara mempunyai jisim tetapi tidak mempunyai badan fizikal sehingga mustahil untuk mengukur beratnya.
