how will you determine the volume of a stone using a measuring jar
Answers
Explanation:
volume can be calculated from weight and density using the formula,volume=weight/density.It can be measured by using jars by measuring the volume of fluid displaced by the stone(put stone into a fully filled jar with water.Measure the volme of water overflown gives the volume of stone).
nding the volume of a regular object, such as cube or sphere, is typically done using an equation. Irregular objects like a screw or rock require a more hands on approach. Luckily, there is a straightforward way to calculate the volume of irregular objects using the water levels in a graduated cylinder.
1
Add water to a graduated cylinder. Choose a graduated cylinder that the object will easily fit inside. Tilt the cylinder while pouring the water to reduce bubbles. Pour enough water in to fill the cylinder to the halfway mark.[1]
2
Read the meniscus. You will notice that the water is higher on the sides of the cylinder and droops slightly in the middle. This droop is known as the meniscus and is the standard point at which the water level is measured. Make sure that the cylinder is on a flat, level surface and that there are no bubbles. Look closely where the meniscus rests
3
Record your measurement. It will be important to know the initial water level exactly. Write down the measurement that you took in a table or lab notebook. Your measurement will be mL. [3]
1
Submerge your object. Tilt the cylinder. Slide the object into the water slightly. Be sure that your object is completely submerged in the water. If there is not enough water to submerge the object, you will have to start over with more water in the cylinder.[4]
