MEASUREMENT

1.

The diagrams below are illustrations of an experiment in the laboratory using a piece of stone, a cork of mass 4.0 g and other necessary materials.

The initial volume of water in A was read and noted. A string was attached to a piece of stone and the stone lowered gently into the water as shown in B. The volume was again read and noted. Finally, the cork of mass 4.0 g was attached to the stone and both materials lowered gently into the water as shown in C. The volume was read and noted.

i)

Why did the level of the water rise when the stone was lowered gently into it as shown in diagram B.

ii)

Why was it necessary to attach the stone to the cork before lowering it gently into the water as shown in diagram C?

iii)

What would have happened if the cork alone were lowered gently into the water?

iv)

What is the volume of the

α)

stone?

β)

cork?

v)

Calculate the density of the cork.

vi)

Why were the materials lowered gently in to the water?
