Measuring the volume of pennies by their displacement requires that only water actually displaced by the pennies is measured. Unless the water was at the very top of the cylinder both before and after the pennies are added, splashed water will make the measurement invalid.

Because surface tension forms a curved surface at the top of the water, it is advisable to have the cylinder only partly filled, and measure the level at the same part of the curved water surface both before and after the pennies are added. This will improve the accuracy of measurement.

Is a pound of Pennies worth more than a kilogram of pennies?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! You see, even though a pound of pennies and a kilogram of pennies may sound different, they actually weigh the same amount. The only difference is that a kilogram is a metric measurement while a pound is an imperial measurement. So, whether you have a pound or a kilogram of pennies, they are both worth the same amount - filled with endless possibilities and potential for creating something beautiful.


How can you calculate the thickness of 1 penny in millimeters?

You can get a stack of pennies, measure the height of the stack and then divide by the number of pennies. You can also get the thickness by treating the penny as a cylinder, calculating the area of the face of the penny, then putting a whole lot of them in water, measuring the change of volume to get the total volume of all pennies, then divide by the number of pennies and divide again by the area of the penny to get the thickness.

Why do you use water displacement and not a ruler to determine the volume of pennies?

Water displacement is used to determine the volume of pennies because it accurately measures the volume of irregularly shaped objects, like coins, which can be difficult to measure with a ruler. This method accounts for the actual space the pennies occupy when submerged in water, providing a precise volume measurement. Additionally, using a ruler may not capture the nuances of the coins' shapes or any variations in size, while displacement gives a direct measurement based on the volume of water displaced.


How many pennies to make a centamiter?

A centimeter is a unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter, while a penny is a coin worth one cent. Therefore, to convert one cent into pennies, you would need 1 penny since a penny is already equal to one cent. Thus, there's no direct correlation between the measurement of length in centimeters and the value of pennies.
