If the rock is small enough to be put into the cylinder, then fill the cylinder first with water to a known level (the graduations will usually indicate the volume). Then slowly drop the rock into the cylinder without splashing. Now read the level of the water (again the graduations will usually indicate the volume). Subtract the first reading from the second and that would be the volume of the rock.

A graduated cylinder is a good way to find volume. Another way to find volume is to use the following equation: Length x Width x Height. This is a way to find the volume of a rectangular or square item.

Use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Pour the sample of water in the graduated cylinder and find its meniscus. That is its volume.
Pour it into a graduated cylinder and read off the volume.
A graduated cylinder would be the appropriate lab equipment to find the volume of a small stone through water displacement method. Fill the graduated cylinder with water, measure the initial volume, add the stone and record the new volume to calculate the stone's volume.
