Answer 1

Please provide the question you want to ask.

Answer 2

The water level in a measuring cylinder, before and after immersing a solid in water are 6 ml and 8 ml respectively. We need to find the volume of the given solid.

• The given question is based on the Archimedes Principle.
• Archimedes principle states that "A body which is partially or fully submerged in a given fluid, experiences an upward thrust which is called buoyancy. This upward thrust is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the solid".
• So, Volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the solid.
• Therefore, volume of solid = (8 - 6) ml = 2ml.
