Look at the drawings of two cylinders filled to the same level with water. The cylinders are identical in size and shape. Also shown at the right are two marbles, one glass and one steel. The marbles are the same size but the steel one is much heavier than the glass one. When the glass marble is put into Cylinder 1 it sinks to the bottom and the water level rises to the 6th mark. If we put the steel marble into Cylinder 2, the water will rise *

a. to the same level as it did in Cylinder 1
b. to a higher level than it did in Cylinder 1
c. to a lower level than it did in Cylinder 1

The density of a substance is its ratio of its mass to its volume. This determines the mass of the substance. The appropriate option to the question is:

b. to a higher level than it did in Cylinder 1.

The density of a mass determines the volume of liquid that would be displaced when put in a liquid. This is known as the Archimedes principle. It relates the mass of a material to its volume.

The density of the steel marble is more than that of the glass, thus it is expected that the liquid should rise above that of cylinder 1. Because the steel marble would displace more volume of water than the glass marble.

The given cylinders have equal measures and size, and contains the same volume of water. Thus, the water should rise to a higher point compared to that of cylinder 1.

Therefore the required answer is: b. to a higher level than it did in Cylinder 1.
