                    Define the term volume of an object.
                    Answer:<\/strong>
                    The space occupied by an object is called its volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Question 2.<\/strong>
                    State and define the S.I. unit of volume.
                    Answer:<\/strong>

                    Question 3.<\/strong>
                    State two smaller units of volume. How are they related to the S.I. unit?
                    Answer:<\/strong>
                    A smaller unit of volume is cubic centimetre (symbol cm3<\/sup>) and cubic decimetre (symbol 1 dm3<\/sup>). One cubic centimetre is the volume of a cube of each side 1 centimetre, i.e.,
                    1 cm3<\/sup> = 1 cm \u00d7 1 cm \u00d7 1 cm.
                    Relationship between m3<\/sup> and cm3<\/sup><\/strong>
                    l m3 <\/sup>= lm \u00d7 lm \u00d7 lm
                    = 100 cm \u00d7 100 cm \u00d7 100 cm
                    = 10,00,000 cm3<\/sup> = 106<\/sup> cm3<\/sup>.
                    Relationship between m3<\/sup> and dm3<\/sup><\/strong>
                    l m3<\/sup> = lm \u00d7 1 m \u00d7 1 m .
                    = 10 dm \u00d7 10 dm \u00d7 10 dm
                    = 1000 dm
                    = 103<\/sup> dm

                    Question 6.<\/strong>
                    How can you determine the volume of an irregular solid (say a piece of brass) ? Describe in steps with neat diagrams.
                    Answer:<\/strong>
                    To measure the volume of a piece of stone.
                    Take a piece of brass, a measuring cylinder, fine thread of sufficient length and some water.
                    Place a measuring cylinder on a flat horizontal surface and fill it partially with water. Note the reading of the water level very carefully. Now tie the piece of brass with a thread and dip it completely into water. We see that the level of water rises. Note the reading of the new water level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"Selina
                    The difference in the two levels of water gives the volume of the piece of brass
                    Initial level of water = 60 ml
                    Level of water when brass is immersed = 80 ml
                    \u2234 Volume of water displaced = 80 ml \u2013 60 ml = 20 ml
                    \u2234 Volume of the piece of brass = 20 cm3<\/sup>
                    Note : 1 ml = 1 cm3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Question 7.<\/strong>
                    You are required to take out 200 ml of milk from a bucket full of milk. How will you do it ?
                    Answer:<\/strong>
                    By using the measuring beaker A measuring beaker is used to measure a fixed volume of liquid from a large volume. Suppose it is required to measure 200 ml of milk from the milk contained in a bucket. For this, take the measuring beaker of capacity 200 ml. Wash it and dry it. Then, immerse the measuring beaker well inside the milk contained in the bucket so that the beaker gets completely filled with the milk.
                    Take out the measuring beaker from the bucket gently so that no milk splashes out and then pour the milk from the measuring beaker into the another empty vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Question 8.<\/strong>
                    Describe the method in steps to find the area of an irregular lamina using a graph paper.
                    Answer:<\/strong>
                    Method to find the area of an irregular lamina using a graph paper : First, place the lamina over a graph paper and draw its boundary line on the graph paper with a pencil. Then remove the lamina and count and note the number of complete squares as well as the number of squares more than half within the boundary line (only the squares less than half, are left while counting). The area of lamina is equal to the sum of the area of complete squares and the area of squares more than half. Let n be the total number of complete and more than half or half squares within the boundary of lamina. Since area of one big square is 1 cm \u00d7 1cm = 1 cm2<\/sup>, so the area of lamina will be n x<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Question 9.<\/strong>
                    Define the term density of a substance.
                    Answer:<\/strong>

                    Question 10.<\/strong>
                    State the S.I. and C.G.S. units of density. How are they inte related ?
                    Answer:<\/strong>
                    The S.I. unit of mass is kilogram (symbol kg) and of volume is
                    cubic metre (symbol m3<\/sup>). Therefore S.I. unit of density is kg\/m3<\/sup>
                    or kg m-3<\/sup>.
                    The C.G.S. unit of mass is gram (symbol g) and of volume is cubic centimetre (symbol cm3). Therefore the C.G.S. unit of
                    density is g\/cm3<\/sup> or g cm-3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    A boy travels with a speed of 10 m s-1<\/sup> for 30 minute. How much distance does he travel ?
                    Answer:<\/strong>
                    Speed of boy = 10 m s-1<\/sup>
                    Time taken = 30 minutes
                    speed = distance travelled \/ time taken
                    Distance travelled = Speed \u00d7 Time taken
                    Convert 30 minutes to seconds
                    1 minute = 60 sec
                    30 minute 60 \u00d7 30 = 1800 seconds
                    Putting the value of speed and time we get
                    Distance travelled = 10 ms-1<\/sup> \u00d7 (1800 sec) = 18000 m
