Question

After he puts a marble in the graduated cylinder the water measures to be 78mL, jason

originally measured 50mL of water in a graduated cylinder. what is the volume of the marble?

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf v=28 \ mL}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason found the volume of the marble using water displacement.

To calculate the volume, we must subtract the initial volume from the final volume.

`v_f-v_i`

The initial or original volume is 50 milliliters.

The final volume, after the marble is added to the water, is 78 milliliters.

`v_f=78 \ mL\\v_i=50 \ mL`

Substitute the values into the formula and subtract.

`78 \ mL-50 \ mL`

`28 \ mL`

The volume of the marble is 28 milliliters.
