Question 51

A solid metal key is transferred from a narrow measuring cylinder to a wider measuring cylinder that has three times the diameter of the narrow one. Both cylinders contain water.

When the key is removed from the narrow cylinder, its reading decreases by 12 cm3.

By how much does the reading on the wider measuring cylinder increase when the key is submerged in it?
