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?

    The reliability of the analysis could be improved if he also measured the weight and mass of the piece of steel. This way he would know how much water was displaced and he can relate it to the volume that he has gotten on his first hypothesis.
