Question

Volume of a liquid can be measured by using a eureka can.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. "Eureka can" is used to measure the density of irregular bodies.
2. When an irregular body is placed in it, some water moves through the spout of the “eureka can” and is collected in a graduated beaker.
3. The ratio of the mass of the irregular body and the water collected in the beaker gives the density of the irregular body.
4. Eureka can is not used for measuring the volume of a liquid because it is not graduated in units of volume like millilitres or litres.

Hence, the given statement is false.
