Here are two possible methods for measuring the volume of an irregular shaped object: a) Add it to a graduated cylinder containing a known volume of water. Measure the change in the volume of the water after the object has been added. The graduated cylinder is graduated in 1 mL increments. b) Add the object to a vessel that is full of water. Collect and measure the mass of the water that is displaced on a digital balance that provides mass to the 0.001 g. Determine the volume using the tabulated densities of water in table 1.1. Which method would be more likely to produce a more precise measure of the volume of an object?

Question
Here are two possible methods for measuring the volume of an irregular shaped object:
a) Add it to a graduated cylinder containing a known volume of water. Measure the change in
the volume of the water after the object has been added. The graduated cylinder is
graduated in 1 mL increments.
b) Add the object to a vessel that is full of water. Collect and measure the mass of the water
that is displaced on a digital balance that provides mass to the 0.001 g. Determine the
volume using the tabulated densities of water in table 1.1.
Which method would be more likely to produce a more precise measure of the volume of an
object?
