Question

A student adds a rectangular block of mass 26.10 g to a graduated cylinder initially filled with 40.1 mL of water, but some water
splashes out of the cylinder. As a result, the student reads the new level of the water to be 42.7 ml. Previously, the student had
measured the length, width and height of the block to be 3.0 cm by 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm.
Does the splash cause the volume of the block to be reported as too high or too low, compared to the volume calculated from the
length measurements?

Answer 1

Answer:

The splash cause the volume of the block to be too high

Explanation:

This is because, from the previous measurement made by the student, the volume of the block is 5.7ml higher.
