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.
When you immerse yourself into a tub of water does it show volume or mass?
Volume.
How do I find my body's volume?
to be accurate, youll have to do a water displacement test. you submerge into a tub of water and the amount of displacement is used to calculate volume (minus voids in lungs and sinusus for hyper-accuracy). Some professional weight loss clinics offer the service.
How do you measure volume of a material?
One way to measure volume of a material is the following: Put the material in a waterproof container, e.g. a tub. Submerge the material in water, register the water level, take the material out and measure what volume of water you need to add to the tub in order to make the water rise to the level it was with the material in. The volume of water you've added equals the volume of the material.
Calculate the volume of a Washer tub that measures 4 feet Deep and 3 feet in diameter?
28.2 cube '
How do you use submerging method to calculate volume?
The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object submerged into the water
What does operating capacity for a bathtub mean?
It is the volume of water that the tub can hold until the water reaches the overflow hole.
How does the acrchimedes crown story relate to matter?
The Archimedes story relates that Archimedes had been trying to determine if the King's crown was pure gold, without having to melt it down (destroying it) to see. Archimedes sat down in the tub and noted that the water rose in the tub, and that he realized that the volume of water displaced was equal to the volume of Archimedes himself. This gave him an insight into how to determine the volume of the crown; by submerging the crown in water and measuring how far the water rose, this would give him the volume of the crown. He could then weigh the crown and calculate the density of the crown, and determine that the crown was not pure gold.
How can a volume of water be deteremined?
The easy way: Pour the water into a graduated container, like a graduated cylinder, and read the volume directly. The hard way: Calculate the volume of a regularly shaped container (cylindrical or rectangular). Pour the water into the container. Measure the height of the water in the container. Calculate the volume of the unfilled portion of the container. Subtract this volume from the total volume of the container.
Calculate volume of water for hydro-test?
To calculate volume of water for hydro test you need to use the formula pi times radius (squared) times length. Pi is equal to 3.14.
How do you calculate the volume of a irergular object?
Use a measured water cylinder, drop in the object, the amount of water displaced represents the volume of the object
How do you calculate the volume of a bath tub if the length is 33 feet the width is 24 feet and the height is 24 feet?
volume equals length times width times height = 33 x 24 x 24
A technique used to calculate the volume of irregularly shaped solids?
To calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object, a good idea would be to get a bucket full of water and submerge that object into the bucket. Then measure the amount of water that runs over and that should be the volume of your object. For example if you take a sealed bottle of bottle stick it in a bucket filled with water, then let it's volume filll the space and displace the water. The water that is displaced or the water that runs out is the volume of your irregular shape. Get it?
