Volume- 

The total space occupied by any piece of matter is referred to as its volume. The correct method of measuring the volume of a solid using a measuring cylinder is-

Key Points

  • Find the range and least count of the spring balance and the measuring cylinder.
  • For finding the mass of the given solid, suspend it from the spring balance with the help of a thread. Note the reading of the spring balance.
  • Place the measuring cylinder on a horizontal surface like a table-top and fill it with water, say, up to half of its range. Note the reading of the water meniscus as the initial volume. 
  • Tie or suspend the given solid with a thread and lower it slowly in water in the measuring cylinder. Let the solid to immerse completely in the water. Next, note the reading of water meniscus as the final volume.
  • Take out the solid from the measuring cylinder. Dry it and repeat the activity by taking the different initial volume of water in the cylinder. In each case note the initial and final readings of water meniscus. 

Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that the correct sequence which Kavita followed for measuring the volume of a solid using a measuring cylinder is c, d, b, a.
