What did Archimedes find out in a bath tub?
Archimedes discovered volume displacement when he was in the bath tub because the weight of an object makes the water rise.But the volume of the water was constant.He then ran outside on the streets screaming,EUREKA!...naked
How can you calculate the volume of a stone when its in water?
you subtract the weight of the water from the weight of the measuring cylinder and you get the volume of the stone
How do you calculate the number of sweets in a jar?
Calculate the volume of one sweet. Calculate the volume of the jar and then divide the volume of the jar by the volume of a sweet.
How do you calculate volume of a wood block?
Length times width times height (lwh) is a way to figure out volume. If you try to do it with water displacement, the wood will adorn the water and ruin the calculations.
How do you calculate if a block of wood will float in water or not?
If the density of the block is less than the density of water, then the block will float. Density of water is close to 1 gram per cubic centimeter. So measure the block and calculate its volume (Length x Width x Height). Use a scale to find the block's mass. Then divide mass/volume to calculate density. If you've measured in grams and centimeters, then the units will be g/cm³, then compare this to 1 g/cm³.
