What else can I help you with?
Why do you need to tie a piece of string around the solid while lowering it into a measuring cylinder?
I presume that you are trying to find the volume of an irregular solid. It is usual to tie a piece of thin cotton around the solid prior to lowering it into the measuring cylinder. This is so that you can control the decent of the object, i.e. it is not dropped into the cylinder causing the water to splash out, thus not giving an accuarate value for volume of the solid.
How will you determine the density of a solidlike a piece of wood?
To determine the density of a solid like a piece of wood, you can measure its mass using a scale and then measure its volume by displacement or geometric measurement. Divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the wood.
Why is a piece of paper a solid?
A piece of paper is considered a solid because its particles are closely packed together in a fixed position, giving it a definite shape and volume. The intermolecular forces between the particles in the paper are strong enough to maintain the solid state under normal conditions.
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite volume?
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
What is the volume of a irregular solid that displaces 5ml of water?
The volume of the irregular solid can be found by measuring the displaced water, which is 5ml. This means the volume of the irregular solid is also 5ml.
Is a piece of wood a solid?
the block is a solid becaus it has a definite shape

Definite shape and volume-?
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
Why is a piece of paper a solid?

Does solid have a definite volume?
Yes, a solid does not occupy less sapce when it is pressed or squeezed. It cannot be compressed. The volume of a solid does not change. A solid has a fixed or definite volume.
What can you say about the volume of solid?
The volume of a solid depends on the temperature.
A rectangular solid piece of brass measures 4.95 cm by 2.45 cm and has a volume of 15.3 cm3 What is the thickness of the brass?
Answer is 1.2686567164179104477611940298507cm
What is the ratio of mass to volume of each broken piece or set of pieces?
If the pieces came from a solid object of uniform density then the ratio is the same for each piece. But if not, the ratios need to be calculated separately.
How can you measure the volume of an irregularly shape solid?
Yes you can.You can measure the solid by putting it into a gradruated cylinder.The height of the water shows you how much volume the solid has. fun is at www.qyue.webs.com
How do you measure the volume irregular solid?
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
How is the volume of an irregularly shaped solid measured?
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.
