Question

Out of curiosity, you wonder whether you would sink or float in a pool of water. To calculate your density and compare it to the density of water, you need your mass measured in Kg. and your volume measured in liters. How could you find your volume in liters?

Answer 1

To find your volume in liters, measure the initial and final volume of the water when you submerge yourself completely in a container of water and convert the volume from cubic meters to liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A straightforward method of finding the volume of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. If you want to find your volume in liters, you can follow these steps:

1. Weigh yourself on a scale to find your mass in kilograms.
2. Fill a container with water and record the initial volume of the water.
3. Submerge yourself completely in the container of water and record the final volume of the water.
4. Calculate the difference between the initial and final volumes of the water. This will give you the volume of your body.
5. Convert the volume of your body from cubic meters to liters by multiplying by 1000.
