1) A solid has a base area of 345 cm^2 and its volume is 4140 cm^3.
A)If that solid is placed in a cylindrical container that is half full of water, to what height will that water rise, if the base of the container is 517.5cm^2.
B) if the height from the base to the new water level is 19cm, how much water in litres are there in the container.
A) Assuming the object is completely submerged, the volume of stuff in the cylinder will increase by 4140 cm^3. So the height will rise by 4140/517.5 cm
B) the new volume is 517.5*19=9832.5 cm^3. So subtract from that the volume of the object.
