This is a poor question. There is no way such a method can measure the volume of a sugar cube, for example, because it will dissolve in the water.
A graduated cylinder.
The volume of a solid object such as a rock or pebble can be determined by submerging it in a liquid in a graduated cylinder or other container. The difference in the volume of the liquid is the volume of the object.
If it's a solid multiply the length times the width times the height. If it's a liquid use a graduated cylinder If it's an irregular solid drop it into a beaker, flask, graduated cylinder, or any other water-measuring tool and record how much the water goes up from the original height to the height when the irregular solid was dropped in, and subtract.
the answer would be C88856
things needed: graduate cylinder, water, and the rock 1) fill the graduated cylinder to the top with water 2) next, take the rock and slowly emerge it into the water ( water will spill over the top of the glass so do so in a sink or outside on the cement ) 3) last, the amount of water left in the cylinder is the volume of your rock
You can put water in the graduated cylinder and drop the solid in and see how much the water rises
The amount of a liquid that is displaced by a solid = the volume of that solid. You could half fill a graduated cylinder. Drop something that sinks into the graduated cylinder to test its volume.
A graduated cylinder.
Fill the graduated cylinder with water, and measure the volume. Now put the item in, measure the water's volume again, and take the difference
10-mL graduated cylinder
For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).
The method for determining the volume of a solid depends on its shape. The volume of a solid object with a regular geometric shape (rectangular box, cube, cylinder, sphere) can be determined using the volume formula for the shape. Because many objects are not regularly shaped their volume cannot be determined using a volume formula. The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read. The object is added to the cylinder and the volume read again. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the object.
To measure the volume of a solid, you would place the solid in a graduated cylinder or beaker (depending on the size of the solid) with a recorded volume of water. After putting the solid in the water, the water will rise, and subtracting the original volume from the final volume will give you the volume of the solid. Ex. Put a block in a graduated cylinder with 50 mL of water and the level rises to 75 mL. Volume=75-50=25 mL To determine the mass of the solid, you would simply mass it on a balance or scale.
You cannot measure the mass of a solid with a graduated cylinder.
It is used primarily to accurately measure liquid volume. It can also be used to measure solid volume by liquid displacement.
You use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the rock with the water and the water without the rock
how do you use a graduated cylinder to find the volume of an irreglarly shaped solid object
