Volume displacement is a good way to find the volume of a cylinder, and is probably better than simply measuring it.
To measure and calculate a cylinder's volume, you must use pi, which is typically rounded to 3.14. Rounding means less accuracy, and there should be no rounding involved in volume displacement.
That depends on the shape. If it is a uniform configuration with simple sides or walls where accurate dimension are used then calculating the volume is more accurate. If the cavity is of a unusual shape such as the combustion chamber for a cylinder head on an engine, then water displacement is more accurate. With modern software, dimension for such a cavity can be calculated by computer. However, variation to the cavity when machined or cast will never be the same as the computer model. R. Clontz
AIM: to find the volume of a piece of cork.APPARATIES: a displacement can, wooden block, beaker, measuring cylinder, sinker (ex. pebble) ,a piece of cork and piece of string.ACTIVITY:set up the appartus.(put the displacement can on the wooden block and place the beaker close to the wooden block~under the displacement can's sprout~fill the displacement can with water and allow excess water to flow into the beaker.~discard this water, u don't need it~place the dry measuring cylinder directly below the sprout.tie the stone to the string and lower it carefully into the displacement can.allow the displaced water to collect in the measuring cylinder.the amount of water collected is the volume of the stone. record it as VOLUME A.remove the stone from the displacement can and repeat steps 2 & 3.tie the cork on the same string you used to tie the stone and lower both of them carefully into the displacement can.allow the displaced water to collect in the measuring cylinder and record it as VOLUME B.the difference between volumes A & B ,is the volume of the cork.this is silly......because i never answered what the person asked....but i gave an answer.
-Use a a measuring cylinder and put 50 litres of water inside. slowly put the stone in and record the new volume. take the new volume and take away 50 and you got the volume of the stone. -Use the displacement method if the stone cannot fit into the measuring cylinder.
If the solid is a regular shape, such as a cylinder or sphere, you can find the appropriate dimensions and use formulas to find the result. If it is of a irregular size, I doubt if there is another method (even if there is, displacement of water would most likely be the simplest method)
One cylinder would have a displacement of 21.2 cubic inches. By multiplying this displacement by the number of cylinders, in this case 6, the total displacement would be approximately 127 cubic inches. Area of circle pi x radius squared x length of stroke = one cylinder's displacement. be sure to use same units for area as well as stroke.

QUESTION;why 20 degree centigrade writtenon measuring cylinder? ANSWER: Measuring cylinder. 20 degree centigrade is written on the measuring cylinder because every instrument having a particular temprature where that equipment is kept and work on it measuring cylinder having 20 degree C on it beacause it is the accurate temprature of measuring cylinder and in this tepmrature working on measuring cylinder is possible.
It's a graduated cylinder.
A graduated cylinder is a laboratory equipment. Its purpose in the collection of hydrogen gas by water displacement is for measuring and mixing the volume of liquid.
They are the same thing. Both are glass or plastic cylinders with lines to indicate how much liquid is in the cylinder. Like a more accurate measuring cup.
burette
the most accurate would be a graduated cylinder but there are beakers and other things that aren't as accurate
liquid has deferent density at deferent temperature and so deferent volume 20 degree Centigrade is written on measuring mean that this cylinder will give accurate volume at 20 degree centigrade
The volume of the stone is measured by displacement. Water is put into the measuring cylinder to a noted mark. The stone is placed in the cylinder and the water level will rise. The difference between the two levels is the volume in ml of the stone.
burette gives a much finer volume reading than a measuring cylinder and all the chemicals can be placed inside it at the start of the experiment.
Think of a toilet roll ey?? its like a cylinder on ya
a graduated cylinder. If you can find one that measures 100 mL, then this will be most accurate. If you find one that measures 1000 mL, this will be less accurate.
