 Volume and capacity

Learning outcome :

The learner will be able to

LO1; understand the concept of capacity

LO2; understand the difference between volume and capacity

LO3; do the problems related to capacity

Simple Note on the topic :

1. What is Volume?

Volume is the amount of space that an object or substance occupies. It is measured in cubic units like cubic centimetres (cm³).

2. What is Capacity?

Capacity is the amount a container can hold, usually referring to liquids. It is measured in units like litres (L) and millilitres (mL).

3. Conversion:

That means one litre of liquid will fill a space of 1000 cubic centimetres.

Explanation:

Hello dear students,

Here we are going to discuss what is Volume and capacity it’s conversion and some problems

some containers,


will these container hold the same amount of water?

Which container holds large amount of water and which container hold least and why?


What will be the capacity of these containers?

Then capacity of the tank is maximum amount of water each of these container can hold,

It is length × breadth × height of the tank


Then what will be the units of capacity and Volume



What will be the relation connecting volume and capacity?

SUMMARY:



Video on capacity and it’s conversion

Liquid measures


It’s self assessment time!

1️⃣ What is the volume of a cube with side 4 cm?

(Use formula: volume = side × side × side)

2️⃣ Convert 2 litres into millilitres.

(Hint: 1 litre = 1000 millilitres)

3️⃣ A water bottle can hold 750 ml. How many such bottles will be needed to fill a 3 litre jug?

4️⃣ Which is more: 1500 cm³ or 1.5 litres?

(Hint: 1 litre = 1000 cm³)

5️⃣ A box has a volume of 1200 cm³. Express this volume in litres.

(Hint: 1 litre = 1000 cm³)
