Question

Suppose you have two$100ml$graduated cylinders. In each cylinder, there is $40ml$of water. You also have two cubes: one is lead, and the other is aluminum. Each cube measures $2cm$on each side. After you carefully lower each cube into the water of its own cylinder, what will the new water level be in each of the cylinders?

Short answer

The volume of each cube is $8c{m}^3$

New water level: $48ml$

Step-by-step solution

Given

Length of graduated cylinder : $100ml$

Initially water is $40ml$

We have cubes of alluminiun and lead with side length$2cm$
