Roughly 96% of the mass of the human body is made up of the four elements which are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen.
The elements, oxygen and hydrogen are found predominantly in water, which makes up 60% of body's weight approximately. Element carbon is synonymous with life. The central role of the element, carbon is due to the fact that the carbon has 4 bonding sites which allow the element for the building of long and the complex chains of molecules. Nitrogen is found in the organic molecules, including the amino acids which make up proteins, and nucleic acids which make up DNA.
Explanation: The Law of Impenetrability says that two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time; therefore, the pennies and the water can't occupy the same space at the same time. Without the pennies the water level read 20.6 mL, dropping in the pennies gives a level of 26.0.
