things needed: graduate cylinder, water, and the rock
1) fill the graduated cylinder to the top with water
2) next, take the rock and slowly emerge it into the water ( water will spill over the top of the glass so do so in a sink or outside on the cement )
3) last, the amount of water left in the cylinder is the volume of your rock
To find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder, you can use the method of water displacement. Fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water, then carefully submerge the irregular object in the water. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the object. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to determine the volume of the irregular object.
This is a poor question. There is no way such a method can measure the volume of a sugar cube, for example, because it will dissolve in the water.
By pouring a set amount of water into the cylinder then addin the object and seeing how much the volume changes. The amount of change is the volume of the object.
It is the displacement method.
You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.
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
For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).
The first thing you have to determine when using a graduated cylinder is the volume of liquid it can hold and the smallest volume increment it can measure. This helps ensure that you are using the appropriate graduated cylinder for your measurements and that you are able to read the volume accurately.
You can measure the volume of a solid object using a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Simply fill the graduated cylinder with water to a certain level, then place the solid object in the water and measure the increase in volume. The difference in volume before and after the object is added will give you the volume of the object.
During the chemistry experiment we had to measure the quantity of the liquids careful by using a graduated cylinder.
The volume of a liquid.

The uncertainty associated with measuring volume using a 25 ml graduated cylinder is typically 0.5 ml.
This is a poor question. There is no way such a method can measure the volume of a sugar cube, for example, because it will dissolve in the water.
Using a 10 ML graduated cylinder you can read 2 decimal places. This is also measuring volume.
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
Well, that depends on what cylinder you are using. For example, a graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid, the measure of a solid by displacement, or for measuring quantities of volumes to be added into a mixture or chemical reaction.
