You take a graduated cylinder,or anything you can measure water in, and put water in it. You drop the marble in and the change in water height is your volume. For example if the cylinder is filled up to 10ml and after you drop in the marble it goes to 15ml then the marble has a volume of 5ml cubed.

How can you measure volume using displacement?

The volume of an object can be determined by the displacement of water. By dropping the object into a measuring container of water, where the volume of the water is known, the object's volume can then be calculated by subtracting the volume of the water by the volume of the water and object combined.


What is the mass of a .5 in diameter glass marble?

I don't believe there is a way to find the mass of an object knowing only the diameter of the object. If you had the volume, or some other measurements sure. the best bet would be just to weigh it, or find the volume using the principles of displacement.

Why is water displacement accurate?

It is a very easy way of determining the volume of a small object. For example, if you have a marble and want to know the mass, all you have to do is put 5ml of water in a graduated cylinder, then put in the marble, and read it. It will say something like 8ml, so 8ml-5ml= 3ml volume of marble. Easy, right?
