# A student is asked to find the volume of a small irregularly-shaped piece of rock. He has the following apparatus available. Which apparatus must the student use to find the volume of the small piece of rock?

Measuring cylinder only

##### SOLUTION
As we know that
• Balance is used to measure the weight of body
• Measuring cylinder containing water used to measure the volume of body
• Rule is used to measure the length of body

The student must use measuring cylinder to find volume of the small piece of rock
