Example Question - volume measurement

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>
