How do the volumes of water displaced by each sample compare? Explain?

You have a 1.0-cm^3 sample of lead and a 1.0-cm^3 sample of glass. You drop each in separate beakers of water.

I'm guessing that it will be the same.

Answer:
nope it won't be the same. The volume of water displaced will depend on the density of your material.

lead has a density of 11.34 g/cm^3 while glass (ordinary bottle) has a density of 2.4-2.8 g/cm^3

if you use these values lead will displace 11.34 g of water and glass will only displace 2.4-2.8 g of water. Since the density of water is 1g/ml, water displaced for lead is 11.34 ml and 2.4-2.8 ml for the glass.

1cc=1cc. Same amount of water displaced
