how will you use a measuring cylinder to determine the volume of a solid
Solution,
Put a fixed volume (Vo) of liquid in a measuring cylinder. Dip the solid completely into the liquid. The volume (V) of the liquid with the solid in it is measured in the measuring cylinder.
Increase in volume recorded by the measuring cylinder = V - Vo.
This increased volume is the volume of the solid.
