Water Displacement Worksheet | PDF - Free Printable

The task involves determining the volume of objects using the water displacement method. This method works by measuring the change in water level when an object is submerged in a graduated cylinder filled with water. The difference in water levels before and after submerging the object represents the volume of the object.

Steps to Solve:

1. Identify the initial water level (without the object): This is the volume of water in the graduated cylinder before the object is added.
2. Identify the final water level (with the object): This is the volume of water in the graduated cylinder after the object is submerged.
3. Calculate the volume of the object: Subtract the initial water level from the final water level.

Solution for Each Problem:

#### Problem 1:
- Initial water level (without object): 5 mL
- Final water level (with object): 8 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 8 \, \text{mL} - 5 \, \text{mL} = 3 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 2:
- Initial water level (without object): 10 mL
- Final water level (with object): 14 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 14 \, \text{mL} - 10 \, \text{mL} = 4 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 3:
- Initial water level (without object): 12 mL
- Final water level (with object): 17 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 17 \, \text{mL} - 12 \, \text{mL} = 5 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 4:
- Initial water level (without object): 1 mL
- Final water level (with object): 3 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 3 \, \text{mL} - 1 \, \text{mL} = 2 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 5:
- Initial water level (without object): 9 mL
- Final water level (with object): 12 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 12 \, \text{mL} - 9 \, \text{mL} = 3 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 6:
- Initial water level (without object): 2 mL
- Final water level (with object): 5 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 5 \, \text{mL} - 2 \, \text{mL} = 3 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 7:
- Initial water level (without object): 1 mL
- Final water level (with object): 3 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 3 \, \text{mL} - 1 \, \text{mL} = 2 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 8:
- Initial water level (without object): 20 mL
- Final water level (with object): 25 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 25 \, \text{mL} - 20 \, \text{mL} = 5 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 9:
- Initial water level (without object): 15 mL
- Final water level (with object): 20 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 20 \, \text{mL} - 15 \, \text{mL} = 5 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 10:
- Initial water level (without object): 15 mL
- Final water level (with object): 20 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 20 \, \text{mL} - 15 \, \text{mL} = 5 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 11:
- Initial water level (without object): 10 mL
- Final water level (with object): 15 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 15 \, \text{mL} - 10 \, \text{mL} = 5 \, \text{mL}
\]

#### Problem 12:
- Initial water level (without object): 10 mL
- Final water level (with object): 15 mL
- Volume of object = Final water level - Initial water level
\[
\text{Volume of object} = 15 \, \text{mL} - 10 \, \text{mL} = 5 \, \text{mL}
\]
