Question 22
Medium

A student wants to determine the density of an irregular mineral nugget suspected to be pyrite ('fool's gold').

The student has already measured the mass of the nugget using a digital balance.

To determine its volume, the student sets up the apparatus shown in the diagram below.

An experimental setup showing a displacement can (Eureka can) filled with water to the level of the spout, a suspended irregular nugget, and an empty measuring cylinder placed under the spout.

Describe how the student should use this apparatus to determine the volume of the mineral nugget.
