Authors' commentary
Measurement of volume of a solid body is based on the fact that the level of liquid in the vessel (graduated cylinder) will go up, when we put this body into the liquid. We need such amount of liquid that it will not overflow after immersing the body. The total volume in this case is a sum of the volume of the liquid and the solid body.

Authors' commentary

The action of bodies is always mutual. The force with which the Earth attracts the body is equal to the force which the body attracts the Earth. If the mass of the body is neglectable in comparison to the mass of the Earth, the attraction will express in the movement of the body. The movement of the Earth is not measurable.

- We can tide it up on a piece of string, drop it from the building roof and measure a length of a string.

- And how else can you apply your knowledge of physic?

- Well, we can drop that barometer from a roof and measure the time until it reaches ground and calculate a height.

The teacher is always unsatisfied so finally student is losing his temper:

- I will go to caretaker and I will promise him that nice barometer if he tell me how tall is our school building.
