Question

An object weighting 9.6 grams is placed in a graduated cylinder displacing the volume from 10.0mL to 13.2 mL

Answer 1

The volume of object is 3.2 ml

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object = M = 9.6 g

Initial volume of liquid: $V_1 = 10.0\ ml$

Final volume of liquid after displacement: $V_2 = 13.2\ ml$

Total volume of the displaced object inside a graduating cylinder will be given as difference between the final volume and initial volume of the expanding object.

$V = V_2-V_1 = 13.2 -1 0.0 = 3.2\ ml$

V = 3.2 ml
