How do I find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?
To determine the volume of an irregular object using graduated cylinders, you fill a graduated cylinder with water right to the top, then submerge the object in the water. Measure the water that overflows using a second graduated cylinder, and read the water level in it in cc's or cubic inches. That is the object's volume.
What are two different ways to measure volume?
length x width x height or put water in a graduated cylinder, and measure the volume of water. then place the object in the graduated cylinder and record the new volume of the water. subtract the old volume from the new, and that is the volume of the object.
Can you use a graduated cylinder to find the volume of keys?
Yes. Fill the cylinder with a specific amount of water and write that amount down. (Any amount, as long as the keys will fit in without the water overflowing, and there is enough to make a difference.) Then put the keys in. Write down the new volume displayed by the graduated cylinder. Subtract the first volume form the initial volume, (this is change in volume), and you will get the volume of the keys.
How do you find the volume of an object using the graduated cylinder?
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.

What is a graduated cylinder for in science?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume, or capacity of water. Or to just measure Water.
How can you measure the volume of solid with a graduated cylinder?
You can put water in the graduated cylinder and drop the solid in and see how much the water rises
What method is the best way to find the volume of a sample of water?
Use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Pour the sample of water in the graduated cylinder and find its meniscus. That is its volume.
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
What unit of measurement does a graduated cylinder use?
The unit of measurement that a graduated cylinder uses is the volume/mass of water.
How do you measure a solid using 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
Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?
To read the volume of water in a graduated cylinder, make sure your eye is level with the meniscus (the curved surface of the water). Read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus to get an accurate measurement. Ensure the graduated cylinder is on a flat surface to prevent parallax errors.
Calculate the density of water using a graduated cylinder?
not quite. you can measure volume in a graduated cylinder. you can use a scale, water, and a graduated cylinder to find out the density of an object by filling the graduated cylinder to an easily calculated point (250) then dropping your object in the water making sure none splashes out then measure the difference, then weigh it and divide the mass by volume to get density.
How do you find volume of water in a pipet?
Pour it into a graduated cylinder and read off the volume.
How is the volume of water found?
To find the volume of water you must put it in a graduated cylinder. Read the measurements.
How could the volume of a 12 sided object be found using water and a graduated cylinder?
it can be found by first taking the volume of the water itself and then the volume of the object in the water. you pour water into the 12-sided object, then measure the amount of water using the graduated cylinder. Then you do this: length x width x height = volume
