  • a physical quantity is a quantity that can be measured using physical methods, such as length, mass, and temperature.
  • volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance, measured in cubic metres or litres
  • scalar quantity has magnitude only,no direction
  • vector quantity has magnitude and direction
  • volume of cube=
  • volume of cuboid= l x w x h
  • volume of circle= 4/3 x pi x radius squared
  • volume of cylinder= pi x radius square x height
  • volume of cone= 1/3 x pi x radius square x h
  • T= tAV/20
  • precaution when using measuring cylinder: it should be place on a flat and horizontal surface, avoid splashing, avoid parallax error
