To measure the volume of a marble is really easy. First you need to fill the graduated cylinder with water (enough so the marble will be submerged). Then get the volume of the water (ex. 50 ml). Drop the marble into the the graduated cylinder and get the new volume (ex. 60 ml). Now its time to do some math take the new volume of the water ( ex. 60ml ) and subtract it from the original volume ( ex. 50 ml). so for my example the volume of the object would be 10 ml. Then you can simply change the the unit of measure to anything you want. I hope this helps

It would probably be much more accurate if you dealt with 100 marbles. First you weight all the marbles together to determine their weight (mass). Then you would use a measuring jar which contains, say,500 cubic centimetres of water (measured by looking at the scale on the jar) and carefully place the marbles in the jar (without splashing) before reading the cc scale again. If the second reading was 1000cc (a litre), then the density of the marbles is found by dividing the mass (weight) by the volume of the marbles, which is 1000cc minus 500cc = 500cc; hence the density required is 1000gm/500cc = 2 grams per cubic centimetre (2 gm/cc).

What do you want to measure about the marble? Its diameter, radius, circumference, volume, mass, density...?


What unit would you use for a marble?

That depends what aspect of a marble you want to measure, for example its diameter, its mass, its density, its color, etc.

If you drop a marble into a glass of water the marble will sink because its?

Because the marble has a higher density than the water does


Does the rock have lower density than a marble?

the rock has a greater volume than the marble


What is the density of a 12.5 g marble that displaces 5.0 ml of water?

The density of the marble would be determined by dividing the marble's mass (12.5 g) by its volume (5ml), which would give you 2.5g/ml.

How do you find the volume of a marble?

There are several methods:From geometry and the formula for the volume of a sphere:Assuming the marble is a perfect sphere, the radius of the marble is one-half of the diameter, or width of the marble. Use the formula for volume,V = (4/3) pi r3where pi is approximately 3.1416 and can usually be found on a scientific calculator. R is the radius as mentioned before. The formula in text is "four-thirds times pi times the radius cubed." Make sure to do the cubing first.From the displacement the marble causes in water or other liquidyou can measure the volume of a marble by filling up a glass beaker to whatever amount you'd like,then you would see how much the water went up.and that would be you answerFrom the density of the marbleWeigh the marble and determine typical density of glass from available tables. As the density of the marble is found by the formulaDensity=mass/volume,divide the mass in grams by the density in gm/cm3 to determine the volume in cm3.
