Question

A cube measures 1.0 cm on each side. What is the volume of the cube? If this cube is dropped into 28.0 ML of water, what will be the new volume reading on the graduated cylinder?

Answer 1

Volume of cube = Length x width x height
                          = 1 x 1 x 1
                          = 1 cm cubed.
If this cube is dropped into 28.0 ML of water the new volume reading onthe graduated cylinder = 1 + 28 
                                     = 29 mL
