摘要
The density of ambient air has been determined by a straightforward experimental method. The apparent masses of two artefacts having about the same mass and surface, but different well-known volumes, have been compared by using a 1 kg balance in vacuum and in air. The differences of apparent masses and volumes yield the air density with a relative uncertainty (1-sigma) of 5 x 10(-5). From measurements made using a third artefact, surface sorption effects caused by the change between vacuum and air conditions gave a coefficient of about 0,2-mu-g cm-2.
