Answer:
Volume of gold piece is 2.7 ml
Explanation:
A graduated cylinder also known as measuring cylinder is a very common laboratory equipment for measuring and mixing more than one liquids or other combinations. It is marked with lines each representing the volume in the cylinder.
Now as per given statement in question,
We have volume of water in cylinder = 17.1 ml
Volume of water and gold piece = 19.8ml
If there is no other addition other than gold piece, then volume of gold piece = 19.8 - 17.1 = 2.7 ml
Answer:
2.7mL
Explanation:
From the question given, we obtained the following:
Volume of water = 17.1 mL
Volume of water + gold = 19.8mL
From Archimedes' principle, we understood that an object will displace its own volume from a liquid when immersed in the liquid. With this understanding, we can obtain the volume of the gold as follow:
Volume of water + gold = 19.8mL
17.1 mL + gold = 19.8mL
Collect like terms
gold = 19.8mL - 17.1mL
gold = 2.7mL
Therefore, the volume of gold is 2.7mL
