A student had to take the volume of a sphere by using a graduated cylinder. Before they put it in the water,the cylinder read 50ml.when the sphere was put in the cylinder the water now read 62ml what is the volume of the sphere?
To find the volume of the sphere, we can use the principle of displacement. The difference between the initial and final volume of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the volume of the sphere that was submerged.
In this case, the initial reading of the graduated cylinder was 50 ml and the final reading was 62 ml. Therefore, the sphere displaced an additional volume of 62 ml - 50 ml = 12 ml.
Hence, the volume of the sphere is 12 ml.
