scientific 4 012-04774A Measure the volume of water that was displaced by readingthe water level in the graduated cylinder in milliliters(1 ml = 1 cm 3 ). Record this volume in Table 1.1. 5. Repeat this procedure for the other objects. Note that theplastic object will float in water so it cannot be ...
