WHEN MESURING THE VOLUME OF LIQUIDS, THE VALUE OF THE MEASURING LINE ONTHE CYLINDER IS TH VOLUME

The volume of regular-shaped solids is calculated with simple mathematical formulas, that is by the water displacement method.

WATER DISPLACEMENT METHOD

VOLUME OF LIQUIDS

VOLUME OF REGULAR-SHAPED SOLIDS

FISRT STEP:

THE SOLID IS PLACED IN A MESURING CYLINDER THAT contains a liquid in it, and the liquid level rises

SECOND STEP:

THE AMOUNT OF MILILITRES THAT THE LIQUID LEVEL RISES INDICATED THE VOLUME OF THE SOLID

For example, in this photo the liquid level rises 200 ml. so, the volume of the solid is 200 ml
