Question

You have a graduated cylinder that you use to measure volume. The cylinder is marked in 1 ml increments. Which measurement made using this cylinder contains the correct number of significant digits? A. 910.234 ml B. 87.00 ml C. 3.2 ml D. 13 ml

Answer 1

The answer is 3.2 ml (just answered it on apex)

Answer 2

Well it is due to the fact that when you

submerge

the wooden block into the cylinder. The displacement of water from the initial-measurement (before the block was submerge) to finial-measurement will be the volume of wooden block.

Note: In cases of floating objects. You can always add a sinker to it to submerge the object.

But

you will need to take into account the volume of the sinker and minus off the added volume of sinker.
