If a graduated cylinder shows a water level of 150 mL and after adding a stone it rises to 157 mL, what is the volume of the stone?

Back

7 mL

Front

What is the principle behind measuring the volume of irregular shaped objects using water displacement?

Back

The volume of the object is equal to the change in water level.

Front

Why can't we use a ruler to measure the volume of irregular shaped objects?

Back

Because irregular shapes do not have uniform dimensions.

Front

Front

What is the initial step in measuring the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?

Back

Fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water.

Front

How do you find the final volume after adding an irregular object to water?

Back

Read the new water level on the graduated cylinder.
