Consider two blocks of the same size and shape: one made of aluminum; the other, of brass. Both blocks sink in water. The aluminum block is placed in a graduated cylinder containing water. The volume reading increases by 3 mL. A. By how much does the volume reading increase when the brass block is placed in the cylinder? (Assume that no water leaves the cylinder.) Explain. When an object is placed in a graduated cylinder of liquid, the increase in the volume reading is called the volume of liquid displaced by the object. B. Does the volume of water displaced by a completely submerged object depend on • the mass or weight of the object? • the depth below the surface at which the object is located? • the volume of the object? tog the shape of the object?

Part A The volume reading increases by 1 ml when both the aluminum block and the brass block are placed in the graduated cylinder containing waterbecause this is the volume of water displaced by each ... View the full answer
