What would you be most likely to measure by immersing an object in water and seeing how much the water level rises?

Question

AndyBryer · Answer

The volume of the object you are immersing in the water.

AndyBryer · Answer

By immersing an object in water and measuring the rise in water level, you are determining the volume of that object through the principle of water displacement. This method is particularly effective for irregularly shaped objects and relates closely to concepts of density and buoyancy. The volume can be calculated by subtracting the initial water level from the new water level after submerging the object.
