The volume of the water in the graduated cylinder rose as some of the water was displaced by the golf ball. Find the volume of the ball using the formula Vb = Vf - Vi where Vb is the volume of the ball, Vf is the final volume of the water, and Vi is the initial volume of the water. Record the volume of the ball in Table A of your Student Guide.

You need to know the values of Vf and Vi. It must be observed when the experiment was performed. Then just subtract Vf - Vi and you will get the volume of the golf ball.

example:

Vf = 15.3 mL

Vi = 10.2 mL

Vb = 15.3 mL - 10.2 mL = 5.1 mL

the volume of the golf ball is 5.1 mL
