To find the volume of the rock, you can use the difference in water levels between the two graduated cylinders.
1. **Initial volume (water level without rock)**: 20 milliliters (mL)
2. **Final volume (water level with rock)**: 32 milliliters (mL)
Now, calculate the volume of the rock:
\[
\text{Volume of rock} = \text{Final volume} - \text{Initial volume}
\]
\[
\text{Volume of rock} = 32 \, \text{mL} - 20 \, \text{mL} = 12 \, \text{mL}
\]
Since 1 milliliter (mL) is equivalent to 1 cubic centimeter (cm³), the volume of the rock is:
\[
\text{Volume of rock} = 12 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
So, the answers are:
- Initial volume: 20 mL
- Final volume: 32 mL
- Volume of rock: 12 cm³
1. **Initial volume (water level without rock)**: 20 milliliters (mL)
2. **Final volume (water level with rock)**: 32 milliliters (mL)
Now, calculate the volume of the rock:
\[
\text{Volume of rock} = \text{Final volume} - \text{Initial volume}
\]
\[
\text{Volume of rock} = 32 \, \text{mL} - 20 \, \text{mL} = 12 \, \text{mL}
\]
Since 1 milliliter (mL) is equivalent to 1 cubic centimeter (cm³), the volume of the rock is:
\[
\text{Volume of rock} = 12 \, \text{cm}^3
\]
So, the answers are:
- Initial volume: 20 mL
- Final volume: 32 mL
- Volume of rock: 12 cm³
