Question

Aim:-To show that liquid have fixed shape but not fixed volume.

Materials required:-Water,flat bottomed flask,conical flask,glass tumbler,and beaker.

Procedure and Observation:-1.Water is a liquid.So,take some water in a beaker and mark the level of the water.We will find that water will take the shape of the beaker.Now,we pour the water from the beaker into other containers of different shapes and sizes,one by one.So,we pour the water from the beaker into the glass tumbler.We will find that water will take the shape of the glass tumbler.Now,we pour the same water from glass tumbler into the conical flask.Water will take the shape of the conical flask.Then,we pour the water from the conical flask into the flat bottomed flask.We will find that water will take the shape of the flat bottomed flask.From this we conclude that the water has no fixed shape.It takes the shape of the container.In general liquid has no fixed shape.Liquid takes the shape of the container in which it is poured.
2.Now,we pour the water from the flat bottomed flask into the original beaker.The water fills up the beaker to the same mark.There is no change in the volume of the water when the water is poured into different containers. From this we conclude that the water has fixed volume.I n general the liquid has fixed volume.
Conclusion:-Thus,the water has fixed volume but not fixed shape.

Is it right??

Answer 1

Actually, the aim should be: to prove that a liquid has fixed volume but not fixed shape.
