The two graduated cylinders pictured can hold the same amount of water and use the same
scale. A student measures the masses of two metal balls. One ball is made of aluminum and
the other ball is made of lead. The student adds 50 mL of water to each graduated cylinder and
then drops one metal ball into each graduated cylinder.
In repeating the investigation, the student accidentally drops and steps on the lead ball. This action changes its
shape from a sphere to an egg-shaped solid. The lead ball is placed back into the graduated cylinder.
