A student wanted to obtain a very accurate value for the volume of a piece of steel. He filled a 100.0 cm3 graduated cylinder to the 50.0 cm3 mark with water. After he carefully dropped the steel into the cylinder, the water level rose to the 55.6 cm3 level. He reported the volume of the steel as 5.6 cm3. How could the student improve the reliability of his analysis?
F.)Repeat the measurement many times and report
an average value
G.)Mass the steel and report its density in g/cm3
H.)Report the volume as 56 mm3
J.)Fill the graduated cylinder to the 70.0 cm3 mark
before adding the steel
