Suppose you have two 100-mL graduated cylinders. In each cylinder there is 44.0 mL of water. You also have two cubes: one is lead (density = 11.3 g/mL), and the other
is aluminum (density = 2.70 g/mL). Each cube measures 1.9 cm on each side.
Part A
After you carefully lower each cube into the water of its own cylinder, what will the new water level be in each of the cylinders?
Express your answers using tree significant figures separated by a comma.
