Why does a 150 ml beaker have more uncertain than a 10.0 ml graduated cylinder in determining volume?

A 10mL graduated cylinder has graduations between each milliliter that denote 0.1mL and allow an uncertainty that is lower that 0.1mL. Because a 150mL beaker doesn't likely have many graduations, the degree of uncertainty is far greater, usually well over 1mL. Beakers are designed to hold a volume and its graduations are only meant to give an approximation while graduated cylinders are specifically designed to deliver large amounts of volume with little uncertainty.

What are the pros and cons of using a graduated cylinder and a beaker?
The different shapes are one difference. The graduated cylinder is tall and tube shaped. It also has a great many lines that will give you how much fluid is in it. Beakers are shorter and wider and they may have some lines for measuring or they may not.

If an object floats in a beaker as shown assuming the graduated cylinder was empty when the object was placed in the beaker and the beaker was full to the level of the spout what must be true?
stop cheating on gizmos, fool. :)The Answer: The mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object.lol
