Question

How will you prove by an experiment that solids occupy space ?

Answer 1

Experiment to show that solids occupy space:
Take a glass bowl. Place a glass tumbler full of water in it. Now tie a stone with thread and lower into the water. Some water flows out of tumbler into bowl. When we remove stone from tumbler the level of water in tumbler comes down. This shows that solids occupy space.

Fig.Both water (liquid) and stone (solid) occupy space
