Question
When water fills a narrow glass tube, the top surface of the water turns out not to be flat. First, (i) describe what the
surface of water in a glass tube looks like (you may draw a picture instead of or in addition to your written answer).
Next, (ii) state the term used to describe this phenomenon. Then, briefly (iii) explain why the surface of the water
changes in this way. Finally, (iv) explain how the volume of water in such a tube is properly determined given what
happens to the water’s surface.

- Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (the bone is water light) a.
