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
It is a solid.
apply the item to the measure
Any item with a rigid shape. You may need to use fractions of inches, but that is still measuring in inches.
It means that the measure of the first item is 32 times as large as the measure of the second item.
ummm....a tape measure maybe?
Water changes from liquid to solid at 0 degrees Celsius.
To find the volume of an irregular solid, use the water displacement method. Immerse the item fully into a filled container of water and measure the liquid that overflows. *If the material is porous or soluble, some improvisation will be necessary, such as a thin plastic coating.
There is no actual name for a solid and liquid. An item can be a solid and liquid, but that is only under different pressures. For instance: The iron that makes up the Earths core is a solid, but that same material that is found in the Earths upper mantel is a liquid. This is because of the pressure differences
depends on what item you are measuring
Of course a car is an item! It is touchable, isn't it? You can take it, can't you? Really, the only thing that matters is if it is made of solid matter, then it is an item.
You measure the item I think
