Measure the volume of water that was displaced by reading
the water level in the graduated cylinder in milliliters
(1 ml = 1 cm
3 ). Record this volume in Table 1.1.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other objects. Note that the
plastic object will float in water so it cannot be used in this
part of the experiment.
ANALYSIS
For each of the regular objects, calculate the percent differ-
ence between the two values found for the volume.
QUESTIONS
1. Which objects have nearly the same volume?
2. Which objects have nearly the same length?
3. Which objects have nearly the same cross-sectional area?
4. Did any two objects have the same volume but did not
have the same length or the same area?
