How do you find the volume of a small pebble?
Since the pebble displaces the volume of water equal to its volume, the change in the water level is the volume of the pebble. By subtracting the initial water level from the final water level, we can find the volume of the pebble: 280 mL – 200 mL = 80 mL. The volume of the pebble is 80 mL or 80 cc’s.
How do you find the volume of an object in a cylinder?
To find the volume of a cylinder, measure the diameter across the round end at its widest point. Measure the height. Approximate pi as 3.14. Multiply 3.14 times the diameter.
How can you measure the volume of a piece of rock?
Since a rock is an irregularly shaped object, a good way to determine its volume is by using water displacement. When an object is placed in water, the amount of water that is displaced by the object is equal to the volume of the object.
Which would be used to measure the volume of a pebble?
One way to measure the volume of any irregular object (in your case, a stone) is to submerge it completely under water and measure the change in the height of the water level. This change in the water level (let’s say it goes from 50 mL to 65 mL) indicates that the stone has a volume of 15 mL.
How do you measure the volume of a small object?
A little-known method of measuring the volume of small objects based on Archimedes’ principle is described, which involves suspending an object in a water-filled container placed on electronic scales. The suspension technique is a variation on the hydrostatic weighing technique used for measuring volume.
How do you find the volume of an irregular shaped rock?
The mass you can measure on a balance or a scale, and the volume is the amount of space the object occupies. You can find the volume of an irregular object by immersing it in water in a beaker or other container with volume markings, and by seeing how much the level goes up.
How will you determine the volume of an irregular solid such as a small pebble?
Describe in steps with neat diagrams. Solution: Aim: To measure the volume of a piece of stone.
Is the volume of a cylinder cubed or squared?
To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you need the radius or diameter of the circular base or top and a cylinder’s height. The volume of a cylinder is equal to the product of the area of the circular base and the height of the cylinder. The volume of a cylinder is measured in cubic units.
