Answer
The S.I. unit of volume is cubic metre (m3). One cubic metre is the
volume of a cube with each side 1 metre long.
Question 3
State two smaller units of volume. How are they related to the S.I.
unit?
Answer
The two smaller units of volume are cubic centimetre (cm3), cubic
decimetre (dm3).
1 m3 = 1 m x 1 m x 1 m
= 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm
= 1000000 cm3
= 106 cm3
1 m3 = 1 m x 1 m x 1 m
= 10 dm x 10 dm x 10 dm
= 1000 dm3
= 103 dm3
Question 4
How will you determine the volume of a cuboid? Write the formula
you will use.
Answer
Question 5
Answer
The two devices which are used to measure the volume of an object
are:
1. Measuring cylinder

3/26/25, 3:17 PM Chapter 1: Physical Quantities and Measurement | Selina Solutions Concise Physics Class 7 ICSE | KnowledgeBoat
2. Measuring beaker
Question 6
How can you determine the volume of an irregular solid (say a piece
of brass)? Describe in steps with neat diagrams.
Answer
4. Now tie the piece of brass with a thread and dip it completely
into water.
5. The level of water rises. Note the reading of new water level V2.
The difference in the two levels of water gives the volume of the
piece of brass.

The length, breadth and height of a water tank are 5 m, 2.5 m and
1.25 m respectively. Calculate the capacity of the water tank in:
a. m3
b. litre
Answer
1.25 m = 15.625 m3
b. 1 m3 = 1000 L
15.625 m3 = 15.625 x 1000 = 15625 L
