Water Displacement Method

Front

What is the volume of a cylinder?

Back

The volume of a cylinder is the amount of space it occupies, measured in milliliters (ml) or liters (l).

Front

How do you find the volume of an object using water displacement?

Back

You measure the initial water level in a graduated cylinder, add the object, and then measure the new water level. The difference is the volume of the object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder?

Back

Volume = π × radius² × height.

Front

What does it mean when we say 'volume displacement'?

Back

Volume displacement refers to the amount of liquid that is pushed aside when an object is submerged in it.

Front

If 50 ml of water is in a graduated cylinder and the water level rises to 60 ml after adding an object, what is the volume of the object?

Back

The volume of the object is 10 ml.

Front

What is a graduated cylinder used for?

Back

A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of liquids accurately.

Front

How can you measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object?

Back

You can measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object using the volume displacement method.

Front

If the water level in a graduated cylinder is 37 ml with a pencil and 35 ml without it, what is the volume displacement?

Back

The volume displacement is 2 milliliters.

Front

What happens to the water level when an object is submerged in it?

Back

The water level rises, and the amount it rises indicates the volume of the object.

Front

If a ring causes the water level to rise from 23 ml to 31 ml, what is the volume of the ring?

Back

The volume of the ring is 8 ml.
