An 84.84 g sample of steel is added to a 100-ml graduated cylinder with 45.0 ml of water. if the resulting water level is 55.5 ml, what is the volume of the steel?

The volume of the steel that is described above is obtained by water displacement method. This means that the volume can be calculated by subtracting the initial volume from the final volume. This will give us an answer of,

volume of steel = 55.5 mL - 45 mL = 10.5 mL
