Answer:
The volume of water in the graduated cylinder will be equal to the calculated volume of the sphere.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of solid objects can be measured by completely immersing these solids in an overflow faucet filled to brim with a liquid in which the solid does not dissolve. This is known as the displacement method. When water is used, it is known as water displacement method.
In the Volume Lab Sheet, a sphere whose volume has been pre-calculated is immersed in the overflow faucet containing water. The displaced water is collected in a beaker and the volume is obtained using a 50 mL measuring cylinder.
The volume of a sphere is calculated using the following formula:
Vsphere = 4πr³/ 3
The symbol π represents the number pi, which is about 3.14. The letter r stands for the radius of the sphere, which is the distance from the center of a sphere to its surface. The radius is exactly half of the diameter, which is the distance across the sphere through its center.
The volume of the water in the measuring cylinder is found to be equal to the calculated volume of the sphere. This is because an object immersed completely in a liquid displaces a volume of liquid equal to its own volume.
