A one liter cylinder is filled with 0.1 mm steel beads and the void volume is measured. A one liter cylinder is filled with 1 mm steel beads and the void volume is measured. A one liter cylinder is filled with 10 mm steel beads and the void volume is measured. Which bead size has the greatest void volume?
