Question

You are provided with a measuring cylinder, a sinker and thread. Describe how
you can measure the volume of a piece of cork using the materials provided.
Include diagrams in your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Find the mass of the cork piece using physical balance. Let it be M

2. Find the volume of the given sinker using the displacement method in a measuring jar. Let it be V1

3. Cobine cork piece and singer with thread and get the combined volume using displacement method in a measuring jar. let it be V2.

4 density = Mass/Volume = M/(V2-V1).
