The VOLUME of an irregular shaped object is to be determined by using the water displacement technique. When the irregularly shaped object is totally submerged the volume of water in a graduated cylinder increases from 10 mL to 15 mL. What is the volume of the irregularly shaped object?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 mL

Explanation:

When an object is completely submerged in a liquid , it displaces liquid equal to its volume . Therefore level of liquid is raised in a container containing liquid .

When the irregularly shaped object is totally submerged the volume of water in a graduated cylinder increases from 10 mL to 15 mL.

Initially volume of water contained = 10 mL

volume of water + volume of irregular shaped object = 15 mL

volume of irregular shaped object = 15 - 10 = 5 mL .
