Answer to Question #142565 in Physics for Kelvin

Question

a piece of copper with an irregular shape was lowered into a graduated cylinder with a stiring volume of 10.0ml. the final water volume was 22.5ml. what is the volume of the piece of copper?

Answer 1

The increase in measured volume is equal to the volume of the piece of copper itself. Thus:

$$V = V_2 - V_1 = 22.5ml - 10ml = 12.5ml$$

Answer. 12.5 ml.
