Yes you can. You put liquid (usually water) in the graduated cylinder. Then record how much liquid you put in it. Next, put the object in the graduated cylinder. Look at where the water level is now. Take that number and subtract the amount of water you put in and that should give you the approximate volume of the object.

∙ 10y agoA graduated cylinder is an instrument for measuring fluid volume; its sides are marked with amounts, usually in milliliters, corresponding to the amount of fluid it contains at any level. The volume of an object immersed in the fluid is the difference between the original level of the fluid and the fluid level after an object has been immersed.
Fill the graduated cylinder with water to a level greater than the length of the pencil and note the level, then immerse the pencil in the water, using a pin or other small object to keep it completely submerged, and note the new level of the water. The volume of the pencil is the difference in the new and old graduations.

How do you describe the procedure for determining the volume of an irregularly shaped object when using water and a graduated cylinder?
Volume displacement.
What do you call the procedure that helps you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using a graduated cylinder?
It is the displacement method.
How can you calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
If the object in question is water proof, and small enough. You can measure the amount of displaced water when it is placed in a tank full of water, this may not work for a lot of things but it can help when attempting to measure some objects.
What is an instrument used to measure volume of liquids and irregularly shaped objects?
graduated cylinder
What do you call the procedure that helps you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object while using a graduated cylinder?
displacement - invented by Archimedes. Completely fill a large volume of something with water. Have a spout to channel all excess water. Place a graduated cylinder under the spout. Place irregular object in the large volume filled with water. The volume of the irregular object will displace an equivalent volume of water into the graduated cylinder. The measured volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object.
What is the first thing you have to determine when using a graduated cylinder?
volume
What tool is used to measure volume of an irregularly shaped object?
This would be called a graduated cillender. But the ccs vary in this tool...from 100 to 1000 * * * * * A graduated CYLINDER might be a better choice!
How the volume of an irregullar solid can be determined?
By water displacement. Pour a certain volume of water into a graduated cylinder, and record that volume. Now, place the irregularly shaped object into the cylinder, and record the level to which the water now rises. Take the difference between those two volumes, and you now have the volume of your irregularly shaped object.
What is the difference between graduated cylinder and cylinder?
The graduated cylinder is obviously graduated and the other one isn't.
How do you measure the mass of an empty graduated cylinder?
The easiest way is to place the graduated cylinder on a scale or balance and measure the weight. You would then calculate from the weight (a force measured in kg, usually) to determine the mass.
What tool measures a graduated cylinder?
Graduated cylinder is a tool to measure volumes.
How would you determine the volume of granulated table sugar wood chips and milk?
Use a graduated cylinder.
