Figure 2 (a) shows the initial reading of burette used to measure the volume of oil. After 50 drops of the oil were run out, the final reading was as shown in figure 2 (b)

Determine the volume of one drop of oil

---

$22m^3 - 19 cm^3 = 2 cm^3 \rightarrow 50 drops = 2 cm^3$

1 drop = ?

1 drop = $\frac{2}{50}cm^3$ = 0.04 cm³
