Water is water displacement method?

The water displacement method is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. This method was discovered by Archimedes in Ancient Greece, while he was taking a bath. He was so excited at his discovery that he ran through the streets of Athens naked, shouting Eureka!-Start with a known volume of water. It is easiest to use a graduated cylinder or beaker, as they have volume measurements along the side. Record that volume.-Add the solid object. Measure the new volume in the beaker.-Subtract the two volumes, to get the amount of water displaced. This is the volume of the solid object.If you are talking about water displacement to measure the volume of an object, you would use a graduated cylinder, if the object was small enough, and put water into the graduated cylinder, then you put the object in and however much the water rises, usually mm, that is the volume of the objectHope this helped!

Was Robert E. Lee the only West Point Cadet that graduated with zero demerits?

No, Robert E. Lee was not the only West Point cadet to graduate with zero demerits. He achieved this distinction in 1829, but there were others before him who also graduated without any demerits. Notably, Lee's classmate, William H. Seward, and several cadets from earlier classes also graduated with this honor. Lee's accomplishment, however, remains one of the most celebrated in the academy’s history.
