A small difference exist because the beaker is not calibrated for volume.
The mass of a 400ml beaker will depend on the material it is made of (e.g., glass, plastic, metal). You would need to weigh an empty beaker of the same kind to determine its mass before adding any liquid.
A test tube is smaller than a beaker. Generally, test tubes have a smaller capacity and are used for holding small amounts of liquid or conducting small-scale experiments, while beakers have a larger capacity and are used for mixing and heating larger volumes of liquid.
You need an analytical balance and a small beaker.
To measure the volume of rock, you can use the water displacement method. Simply fill a container with a known volume of water, then submerge the rock in the water and measure the change in water level. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the rock.

to measure the small amount of volume
There are more particles in the beaker with a large amount of water compared to a beaker with a small amount of water, assuming the water is the only substance present. This is because the volume of water in the larger beaker contains more individual water molecules than the volume of water in the smaller beaker.
An error that can be formed when using a beaker is inaccurate volume measurements, as the markings on the beaker may not be precise. It is important to use a graduated cylinder for more accurate volume measurements. Additionally, using a beaker for precise measurements of small volumes can also lead to errors.
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. For a small object immersed in a graduated cylinder or beaker, the volume displaced by the object can be read directly from the scale on the container.
There are a few types of equipments which measure small volume changes, which are known as volumeters. Small volume changes are measured with syringes, beakers, and volumenometers.
Volume of a sphere = 4/3*pi*radius3 measured in cubic units
The volumes of small irregular solids are usually easily measured by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when they are immersed in a liquid. For example: You would have to put the object in a measuring glass with water in it. (~1/3 filled) Put the object in it and then get the number from the measuring glass (beaker etc. mostly beaker) and that is how you measure a irregular solid!
They can be used to measure the volume of liquids. Sometimes, they can also be used to measure the volumes of small, insoluble solids.

No, a beaker is a poor choice of instrument to measure volume. Instead try a graduated cylinder. Generally, the smaller the diameter of graduated cylinder, the more accurate it will be. A grad cylinder will have the increments written up along the side with carefully placed "hash marks" indicating the volume of substance/solution in the cylinder. A breaker may have a few markings indicating the volume of the contents up the side, but not enough make it an accurate measuring device for varying volumes of liquid.
I believe Archimedes came up with this... Fill a beaker or glass to the brim with water. Place the beaker in a bath, bowl or similar. Gently place the rock into the glass of water, allow the liquid to overflow into the bowl. The water displaced by the rock (which is now in the bowl and you can measure the volume of) is the volume of the rock. Hope this helps!
