Question 135

A student wants to find and compare the volumes of three different metal pieces: P, Q, and R. They use a measuring cylinder containing water and record the volume before and after submerging each metal piece.

The readings are shown in the table below:

Metal pieceVolume of water before (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3)Volume of water after (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3)
