When the iron bar is placed within the coils of a solenoid it then becomes a magnet.
If you are talking about volume, then an easy way to measured the volume of a liquid would be with a graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder is marked with volume units such as milliliter (mL) or the liter (L). One liter equals 1 thousand milliliters.
To measure the volume of a solid you use the formula V = (Length)(Width)(Height)
To measure the volume of a gas you use a graduated cylinder held upside down. At first the cylinder is filled with water. When air is blown into the cylinder, bubbles rise and push some water down. The volume of the water pushed down is equal to the volume of the gas that was blown in.
The carpeted floor has a rough surface and hence produce greater friction while the marble floor is smoother thus generating a smaller friction.
