Answer
Precautions to be taken while measuring the volume of a solid lighter than water using the displacement method
(a). The sinker should be insoluble in water
(b). The sinker should have a high density than water.
(c). Lower meniscus should be read to note down the readings and errors due to parallax should be avoided.
