How Do You Measure In Metrics? | ||||
| cm3 = mL (by definition) | ||||
 |
Measuring Length Calculating Volume Measuring Volume Measuring Mass Calculating Density Calculate % Error |
 | ||
| Calculate volume : L X W X H= cm3 | Mass the carton empty (grams). | |||
 |
 |
 | ||
| Fill the carton with water. | Find the mass of the carton and the water (grams). | |||
 |
 |
 | ||
| Subtract the mass of the empty carton from the full carton to find the mass of the water alone. | ||||
 |
 |
 | ||
| How many mL in the carton? | ||||
 |
 |
 | ||
| When the mass (grams) of water is divided by the volume(cm3 or mL) of water, the answer is ONE! | ||||
| Water has a density of 1g/mL or 1g/cm3 | ||||
| Pre-iceberg Titanic has a density less than 1g/mL | Post-iceberg Titanic has a density more than 1g/mL | |||
