Question

Abby fills a graduated cylinder with 3 mL of water. She

then drops a small rock into the cylinder, and the water
level rises to the 5 mL mark. What is the volume of the
rock?

Answer 1

Volume of the rock, V = 2 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Water filled in a graduated cylinder is 3 mL

She then drops a small rock into the cylinder and the water level rises to the 5 mL mark

We need to find the volume of the rock.

The volume of the rock is equal to the difference in volume mark. So,

V = 5 mL - 3 mL

V = 2 mL.
