Question - Determining the Volume of a Stone

This question seems to be asking about the method used to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped solid, such as a stone. The most commonly used method for this purpose is the displacement method, which is based on Archimedes' principle.

To find the volume of the stone using the displacement method, you would:

1. Fill a graduated cylinder or beaker with water to a certain level and record the volume of water (V1).

2. Carefully place the stone into the water and make sure it is fully submerged without touching the sides of the container. Record the new volume of water (V2).

3. The volume of the stone (Vs) is equal to the difference in the volume of water before and after the stone was submerged: Vs = V2 - V1.
