Determining the Volume of a Stone
<p>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.</p> <p>To find the volume of the stone using the displacement method, you would:</p> <p>1. Fill a graduated cylinder or beaker with water to a certain level and record the volume of water (V1).</p> <p>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).</p> <p>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.</p>
Determining the Density of a Solid Stone
The method used to determine the density of a solid stone involves measuring the mass of the stone and its volume. The density \(\rho\) can then be calculated using the formula: <p>\(\rho = \frac{m}{V}\)</p> Where: - \(\rho\) is the density - \(m\) is the mass of the stone - \(V\) is the volume of the stone To measure the mass (\(m\)), you can use a balance. To find the volume (\(V\)), if the stone is irregularly shaped, you can use the displacement method by submerging it in water and measuring the volume of water displaced, which is equivalent to the volume of the stone.
