Which glass holds the most water?
- Glass A (Scissors): The metal blades and large plastic handles take up a substantial amount of space inside the glass, displacing a lot of water.
- Glass B (Paperclip): A standard paperclip is made of thin, delicate wire. It has an incredibly tiny total volume and takes up almost no space inside the glass.
- Glass C (Pencil Sharpener): The rectangular plastic housing and metal blade of a pocket sharpener take up a moderate chunk of space.
- Glass D (Spoon): The wide, solid metal bowl and thick handle of the spoon displace a significant amount of water.
The Verdict
Glass B holds the most water.
Because the paperclip has the smallest volume of all the objects, it displaces the least amount of water. This means Glass B contains the highest volume of actual liquid to maintain the same water level as the others.
