Question

out ure me Example 3.8 When an irregular solid object was immersed in 65 cm³ of water, the water level rose to 81 cm³. What was the volume of the irregular solid object?​

Answer 1

16 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of any solid can b calculated by displacement. In order to do this, you would (Like it states in the question) submerse the item in water, and measure the displacement. Since no additional water was added, the difference in water level is caused by the solid that was inserted.

Mathematically, you take the level after insertion and subtract it from the original. In this case,

81 - 65 = 16
