Question

A stone when immersed completely into water contained in a measuring cylinder raises the
level of water from 15 mL to 25 mL Find the volume of stone in cm3
.
Please answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the stone is 10 cm³.

Explanation:

The stone is completely immersed in the water in the measuring cylinder.

The initial volume of the water, V₁ = 15 mL

The final volume of the water when the stone is immersed in it, V₂ = 25 mL

Then the volume of the stone can be calculated as the increase in the volume of the water when the stone is immersed completely in it.

∴ The volume of the stone, V = V₂ - V₁

                                          = 25 - 15

                                          = 10 mL

This volume in milliliters is equal to the volume in cubic centimeters.

∴ The volume of the stone, V = 10 cm³
