Description:
|
A small steel bucket has a cylinder that just fits inside
it. The bucket, with the cylinder inside it, is suspended from a scale
and wieghed. Then the cylinder is removed and hung below the bucket on
the scale so it is just covered with water in a beaker. Water is removed
from the beaker until the weight on the scale returns to its original
value. The water collected is then placed in the bucket to show that it
takes up the same volume as the cylinder.
