What will be the weight of the empty container if the fully water filled container weighs 36 kg and the half water filled container weighs 21 kg?

Let the weight of the container be C and the weight of water when fully filled be W. Then C + W = 36 and C + w/2 = 21 Subtracting the second equation from the first gives w/2 = 36 - 21 = 15 Then W = 2 x 15 = 30 : As C + W = 36 then C = 36 - W = 36 - 30 = 6 kg. The empty container weighs 6 kg.


Why can a container of liquid be half-filled but a container of gas is always fully filled?

A container of gas is always full because a gas will always take up the amout of space it is given. Just imagine a bunch of floating molecules in a container whose motion is random and bouncing all over the place. Unlike, a liquid who always has a definite amount of volume will only take up the amount of space it can.


What happens to a gas when it is released into a room?

Gases generally expand and take the shape of its container. In this case the gas would expand until it filled the room. It would be fully dispersed.

What method do you use to find the volume in a given object?

Assuming you can't work it out mathematically, fully submerge the object in a container filled to the top with water, then measure the volume of the water displaced.

How can you find your volume?

An easy and low tech way to find the volume of an object is to measure the volume of water it displaces. Fill a container that has lines for measuring volume on it with enough water to fully submerge the object whose volume you will measure, but don't fill it all the way to the top. Write down the amount of water you start with, let's say 1 liter. Now put the object you want to measure into the water carefully so that you don't splash any water out and make sure that it is fully submerged. Now write down the new volume of water in the container, let's say it now reads 2.5 liters. Subtract the original volume from the new volume to find the volume of your object: 2.5L - 1L = 1.5 liters. Another way to find the volume of an object fill a container with water to the very top of the container. Place that container of water into an empty larger container. Put the object that you want to measure into the container of water slowly so that you don't spill any more water than the object pushes out on its own. When the object is fully submerged, it should have pushed out some water into the larger container. To ensure accuracy, the level of water in the water filled container that now also contains the object to be measured should still be at the very top of the container. Carefully remove the water/object filled container from the larger container so as to not spill any more water. Carefully pour the overflowed water into a smaller measuring vessel to find the volume of your object.


Will a torn meniscus stop you from becoming a firefighter?

No. Proper steps for recovery, following doctors advice and proper rehabilitation should not hinder you at all once you are fully recovered.

How do you find the volume of an irregular solid?

To find the volume of an irregular solid, use the water displacement method. Immerse the item fully into a filled container of water and measure the liquid that overflows. *If the material is porous or soluble, some improvisation will be necessary, such as a thin plastic coating.
