Graduated cylinder is filled to 41.5mL with water, and a price of granite is placed in the cylinder displacing the level to 47.6mL. What is the volume of the granite piece in cubic centimeters

6.1 cm³

Explanation:

To solve this problem we first need to keep in mind Archimedes' principle:

With that in mind we calculate the volume of the granite piece in mililiters:

Given that one cubic centimeter is equal to one mililiter, the volume of the granite piece in cm³ is 6.1 cm³.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
