An student thinks it may be possible to identify different rocks and by measuring their densities. She uses an electronic balance to measure the mass of each sample and uses the 'displacement method' to determine the volume of each sample. The diagram shows her displacement results for sample . State the volume shown in each measuring cylinder.
