The level of the liquid in the cylinder rose by 10 mL when the rock was submerged in the liquid.
You would use the water displacement method. Place an overflow can in a container that can catch the water that flows out of the can. Fill the can completely full of water. Place the figure in the can, and collect the water that flows out of the can. Measure the water that overflowed with a graduated cylinder, and that will give you the volume of the figure in mL. Since 1mL exactly equals 1cm3, you can also know the volume of the figure in cm3.
The volume of any cylinder is the area of the base times the height. If you know the radius of the base that would be Pi times the Radius squared times the height. Graduated just means it has the increments of measurement marked on the side so you can tell how much liquid you have in it.
Yes, provided you know the density of the substance and the substance can be adequately measured by the cylinder. Because density is the quotient of the mass and volume, the mass is the product of the density and volume. So if you multiply the density and volume (assuming the units match), you will find the mass.
It is quite simple if it is a regular shaped object like a cylinder or a cube. For example if you wanted calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius of the circular cross-section of the cylinder - this is the measurement from the centre of the circle, to the outer-edge and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder. For irregular shaped objects don't think there is a simple mathematical way if you don't know the density but you can always use water displacement to get a volume measurement. Just drop the object you want to know the volume off into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water - the amount the level rises will be roughly equal to the volume of the object you dropped in.
Yarn , because that can rap around the cube OR you could use stringy ruler type thing
measure the volume of liquid that the object displaces

Yes just subtract the volume of the ball from the volume you measure of the liquid.

The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.
To measure the volume of any liquid, you use a graduated cylinder. (I'm a bit afraid as to why you would want to know that)
If you are going to weigh a liquid in a graduated cylinder, the weight that you will get when you place the cylinder on the scale will be the combined weight of the cylinder and its contents. To find the weight of the contents alone, you therefore have to subtract the weight of the empty cylinder. And to calculate density you need to know both the weight and the volume.

If your question is why must a graduated cylinder be dry to measure something then the answer is so that it only measures the volume of what you add to it. If it is wet or otherwise dirty, the contaminants will obviously take up some space and provide a total higher volumetric measurement than should be yielded by whatever it is you are measuring.
i dont actually know. but im trying to do that now!!!!!! AUGHHHHH! something with integrals, the volume of a circle, and the area of the shape of a hersheys kiss when you cut it in half and trace it on graph paper. this is so dificil!!! HELP!!!!
