As shown below, a hammer was placed into a graduated cylinder. What is the volume displacement of the hammer?

B. 4 ml

Explanation:

Volume displacement of the hammer = volume volume of water when the hammer was placed into the cylinder - volume of water only before the hammer was placed into the cylinder.

Volume volume of water when the hammer was placed into the cylinder = 69 ml

Volume of water only before the hammer was placed into the cylinder = 65 ml

Volume displacement of the hammer = 69 ml - 65 ml = 4 ml

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
