You can't. There are an infinite number of cylinders with different dimensions
that all have the same volume, so the volume alone isn't enough information
to tell you the dimensions.

What to use to measure volume of 20 g of alcohol?

To measure the volume of 20 g of alcohol, you would need to know the density of the specific alcohol. Then, you can use the formula: volume = mass/density. Once you have the density, divide 20 g by the density to find the volume in milliliters.


They want me to find the diameter of a cylinder The only info they gave me is the height-16.8 mass-2.17 density- 2.33 I don't know how to do it can someone please walk me though?

This answer is a lot easier than you thought. I would, however, need proper units in order to give you an appropriate answer. The volume of a cylinder is calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the cylinder, correct? Density is mass divided by volume, thus if you keep mass the same and increase the volume you get a lower density. So because you know the density, and the mass, (provided they are in similar units) D=M/V, where D is density and M is mass, and V is volume. You solve for volume. once you have the volume, you divide it by the height of the cylinder (once again provided the units are the same) to get the area of the base. the area of a circle is (pi)r^2 so divide by pi, and take the square root of the result. Then you multiply that answer by 2, and that is the diameter of the base.


What is the density of a rock that has a mass of 96.2 grams?

there is not enough information to figure this one out, You need the volume (or if you know the elements its made out of , you can figure it out through molar mass)


How do you find the density of a liqiud?

Answer:The formula is:D=M/V(Density equals mass divided by volume)It is the same type of thing for Mass and Volume:M=D(V)(Mass equals Density multiplied by Volume)V=M/D(Volume equals Mass divided by Density)


If an something was 2000000 kilograms what would be its density?

Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume. If you have a mass of 2000000 kg, you would also need the volume it occupies to calculate density. Without the volume, the density cannot be determined.

How can you measure the volume of irregular solids if you do not have a graduated cylinder?

measure the volume of liquid that the object displaces


Can you use a graduated cylinder to measure mass?

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.


What is the density of an aluminum cylinder?

The density of aluminum is approximately 2.7 g/cm^3. To calculate the density of an aluminum cylinder, you would need to know its mass and volume, and then divide the mass by the volume to get the density.


Mass of rock?

Mass is measured by density multiplied by volume. In order to figure out a mass of a rock, one must know its density and its volume measurements.


What would be the density of an object that has a mass of 17 g?

You don't know the density if you only know the mass. You can figure it out if you also know the object's volume.


What is sugar's density?

Density measures how compact a particular substance is. It can be calculated by adding the weight with the volume of the substance. To figure out the density of sugar you must first know the weight and volume and then plug them into the equation: density = weight + volume.


How to calculate the density of a gas?

To calculate the density of a gas, you need to know the gas's mass and volume. The formula for density is density mass/volume. Measure the mass of the gas using a scale and the volume using a graduated cylinder or other measuring tool. Then, divide the mass by the volume to find the density of the gas.

Can you calculate the volume of an item without knowing the density?

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.
