To find the volume of a small pebble using a measuring cylinder, you would first fill the measuring cylinder with a known amount of water. Next, carefully drop the pebble into the water and measure the new water level. The difference between the initial and final water levels represents the volume of the pebble displaced, which is equal to the volume of the pebble itself.

How do you find the volume of a thumb tack?
Take a graduated cylinder and partly fill it with water. Read of the volume on the graduations: V1. Gently insert the thumb tack and make sure there are no air bubbles on it. Read the new volume, V2. The volume of the tack is V2 - V1, in the appropriate units. The volume of a single tack is quite small so the margin of error in measurement is relatively large. Therefore, if you have a number of identical thumb tacks, you may be better of measuring the average of several tacks put into the measuring cylinder together.
Is a small cylinder or a large cylinder more accurate?
smaller
What has greater volume a cone or frustum?
A large cone has a greater volume than a small frustum while a small cone has a smaller volume than a large frustum
What small cylinder shape holds tape and thread?
A Spool
If the lateral areas of two similar cylinders are 50pi cm sq and 18pi cm sq and the volume of the smaller cylinder is 54pi cm cubed what is the volume of the larger cylinder?
The two cylinders are similar - they are of corresponding shapes but one is x times bigger than the other. If a cylinder is x times bigger in a single dimension, it will be x2 times greater in measurements involving two dimensions (i.e. area) and x3 times bigger in three dimensions (volume). Here, the ratio in two dimensions is 50pi / 18pi. This cancels to 25/9. So in terms of area, one is 25/9 times larger. x2 = 25/9 So x = sqrt25/sqrt9 = 5/3 and x3 = 53/33 = 125/27 (If you prefer, one can just write (25/9)3/2 = 125/27) In terms of volume, then, the big cylinder is 125/27 times bigger. Multiply this ratio by the volume of the small cylinder... 54pi x 125/27 cancels to 2pi x 125 = 250pi cm3. ...and you have the volume of the big cylinder. (It's tidiest to leave the answer in terms of pi.) This is just a question about scale factors, and the identity of the objects as cylinders is irrelevant, because they are similar. The way in which the figures neatly cancel without producing any horrendous decimals suggests that this question came from a textbook or an exam paper.
How can we find the volume of small pebble with the help of measurin cylinder?
First put water in measuring cylinder and note the volume of water. Next, put the pebble in it.
What measuring devices can you use to find small liquid volume?
A graduated cylinder!
How can you find the volume of a small stone?
-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.
50ml from a large beaker measured in a measuring cylinder is actually?
A small difference exist because the beaker is not calibrated for volume.
What could you measure using a measuring cylinder?
Volume of liquids. You could also use it to measure the volume of small solids using the displacement-of-fluid method.
What instrument measures milliliters?
A small graduated cylinder or beaker.graduated cylinderA measuring cylinder, a volumetric flask, a pipette, a burette. In the kitchen a measuring jug.The volume of a liquid can be measured by a graduated cylinder.To measure most liquids in mL you can use a graduated cylinder
How would you measure a liquid chemical?
using measuring cylinder (if the volume is large) using syringe / needle (if the volume to measure is very small, below 2 ml)
What is a measuring cylinder used for?
It is to measure liquids to specific amounts to be used in the scientific experiments. Sometimes called a graduated cylinder usually ruled with lines at each millilter or fraction thereof. A more common example would be a measuring cup ruled or marked in fractions of a cup though not all measuring cups have circular cross-sections.
What instrument is used is measure volume?
Measuring Pipette is for small amount of volume only.Graduated Cylindrers is for measuring large amount of volume.
Does a pebble have density?
Yes, a pebble has density. Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, so even small objects like pebbles have a density value based on their mass and volume.
What can you put in a graduated cylinder?
You can put liquids such as water, oil, or alcohol in a graduated cylinder for measuring volume accurately. It is not recommended to put solid objects in a graduated cylinder because it can affect the accuracy of the measurement.
What two items are best to use to determine the combined volume of three small rocks?
You can use a graduated cylinder or a measuring cup filled with water to determine the combined volume of three small rocks. Simply measure the initial water level, then add the rocks and measure the new water level for the volume displaced, which represents the combined volume of the rocks.
