Physics lesson 3.1 (measuring volume)

Using a measuring cylinder as well as a Eureka can ,enables us to find the volume of irregular solids.
Measuring Cylinder
1.Fill the measuring cylinder to a certain height and record it
2.Suspen the irregular solid into the measuring cylinder
3. Record the final water level and subtract the initial level from it
4.the Equation is the volume of the irregular solid
Eureka Can
1. Fill water till the mouth of the spout
2. Suspen the irregular solid into the can
3. The amount of water displaced in the measuring cylinder is the volume of the irregular solid
