When you place the rock into the graduated cylinder, the initial volume of water is 50 mL. After adding the rock, the water level rises to 70 mL.
To find the volume of the rock, you can subtract the initial water volume from the new water level:
\[
\text{Volume of the rock} = \text{Final water level} - \text{Initial water level}
\]
\[
\text{Volume of the rock} = 70 \, \text{mL} - 50 \, \text{mL} = 20 \, \text{mL}
\]
So, the volume of the rock is 20 mL.

\]
So, the volume of the rock is 20 mL.
