Question 62

A measuring cylinder contains 20 cm3 of water. A piece of copper is lowered into the measuring cylinder until it is fully submerged. The volume reading increases to 26 cm3. A second piece of copper is lowered into the measuring cylinder so that it is also fully submerged. The volume reading increases to 33 cm3. Which option shows the correct volumes of the two pieces of copper?

A

First piece: 6 cm36\text{ cm}^36 cm3, Second piece: 7 cm37\text{ cm}^37 cm3

B

First piece: 6 cm36\text{ cm}^36 cm3, Second piece: 13 cm313\text{ cm}^313 cm3

C

First piece: 26 cm326\text{ cm}^326 cm3, Second piece: 7 cm37\text{ cm}^37 cm3

D
