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.
To find the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, first ensure the cylinder is on a level surface. Pour the liquid into the cylinder until it reaches the desired level, then observe the meniscus—the curved surface of the liquid. Read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus at eye level to ensure accuracy. The value indicated on the graduated scale corresponds to the volume of the liquid.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
This depends upon the phase of the material whose density you wish to find. Fir an irregularly shaped solid, you would have to find the volume using a graduated cylinder (to measure how much liquid it displaces) and then weigh it on a scale (probably a triple beam balance). A regularly shaped solid would not require a graduated cylinder, you could just get its measurements with a ruler. A liquid could be measured using a graduated cylinder and a scale. A gas could have its density relative to that of the air measured by observing its buoyancy vs. weight measured in a balloon. That is a bit more complicated.
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.
