Given:

A glass cylinder with diameter 20 cm has water to a height of 9 cm. A metal cube of 8 cm edge is immersed in it completely.

Formula used:

Volume of cylinder = Πr2h

Volume of cube = a3 

F1 RaviS Madhuri 10.03.2022 D1

Calculation:

Diameter of cylinder = 20 cm

⇒ Radius of cylinder = 10 cm

Now, Volume of water displaced (because of which water will rise in cylinder) = Volume of cube

∴ πr2h = a3

⇒ 3.142 × 10 × 10 × h = 83

⇒ 3142 × 1/10 × h = 512

⇒ h = 5120/3142 

⇒ h = 1.62 cm ~ 1.6 cm
