What is the volume of the rock?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the calculation of the volume of a rock. To answer this, we will typically need dimensions or weight of the rock and possibly its density, depending on the method chosen for calculation.
Answer
Measure the change in water level when the rock is submerged to find its volume.
The volume of the rock is the difference between the initial and final water levels in the measuring container.
Answer for screen readers
The volume of the rock is the difference between the initial and final water levels in the measuring container.
More Information
This method relies on Archimedes' principle, where the volume of the rock can be determined by the displacement of water.
Tips
Ensure no water splashes out when the rock is placed in to get an accurate measurement.
