Have you ever noticed when you and your friend fill the water bottle and see that your friend's water bottle contains less water, and your water bottle contains more water? Here the water bottle has nothing to do, but its capacity decides how much water it will accommodate. If you buy a much bigger bottle, it will accommodate more water; it's all the work of capacity. This is one of the most basic things in Mathematics that every class 5 student should know. Let us explore more about this topic.
Capacity is defined as the solid or any other object in which any pourable or liquid substance can be accommodated without any leakage. It can be determined in multiple ways, from milliliter to liters or in any imperial, gallons and pints form. Capacity is not only helpful in mathematics, but it also helps you in daily life to store the substance in a particular object.
Facts of capacity
Capacity is the capability of the specific object to store some of the substance that can be anything from liquid, solid or gas.
Only Hollow objects can store substance.
It can be measured in various metric units like liters, gallons, etc.
Capacity is the limited amount of substance that an object can store.
At last, every student should know how to determine the capacity of the object.
