Question

the graduated cylinder shown is filled to the dashed line with water. a marble is placed in the cylinder and the water rises to the solid line as shown in the diagram. what is the volume of the marble? a. 1 ml b. 2 ml c. 3 ml d. 4 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Determine water - level readings

Read the initial water - level (dashed line) and final water - level (solid line) on the graduated cylinder. Assume the initial reading is 4 ml and the final reading is 6 ml.

Step2: Calculate marble volume

The volume of the marble is equal to the increase in the volume of water in the graduated cylinder. Use the formula $V = V_{final}-V_{initial}$. So, $V=6 - 4=2$ ml.

Answer:

B. 2 ml
