How could the volume of a 12 sided object be found using water and a graduated cylinder?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
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

How do you find displaced volume?
The amount of a liquid that is displaced by a solid = the volume of that solid. You could half fill a graduated cylinder. Drop something that sinks into the graduated cylinder to test its volume.
What could you use a graduated cylinder for?
Measuring the volume of liquids, powders or granules.
How do you find volume when mass and density are not givin?
It depends on the way the question is asked. If you are dealing with a cubic or rectangular object, you measure the length, width, and height, and multiply them. If it is a spherical or irregularly shaped object, you could used water displacement to find its volume. If it's a liquid, you could use a graduated cylinder to measure its volume.
What tool do you use to find density?
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.
Three examples of laboratory ware used for measuring volume?
If you know the density of the liquid, scales could be used to determine the mass and then plugged into the equation:- volume = mass/density A measuring cylinder could also be used. Stuck on the third one though...I guess you could use a burette, but generally they're only used for titrations.
What is a object used to measure the volume very precisely?
Use a graduated cylinder to precisely measure volume
How could the volume of a sided object be found using water and a graduated cylinder?

How could you measure the volume of an object with an irregular shape?
One way to figure this out is to put the object in a graduated cylinder containing water and measuring the changes in the volume of the water.
How do you find displaced volume?
The amount of a liquid that is displaced by a solid = the volume of that solid. You could half fill a graduated cylinder. Drop something that sinks into the graduated cylinder to test its volume.

How could the volume of a 12 sided be found using water and a graduated cylinder?
irregular
How would you neasure the volume of an object with an irregular shape?
o take the irregular shape & put in a graduated cylinder filled with the amount of water you want. then you take the measurement on how much it grew then subtract your answer with the original

What could you use to measure the volume of salt water?
The instrument you would use could be a beaker or a graduated cylinder.

What can you use other then a graduated cylinder or a displacement to measure volume?
Technically, for a liquid, one could use Erlenmeyer flasks or beakers to measure volume; however, it will not be as accurate as a graduated cylinder. A buret can also be used to measure the volume of a liquid if more accurate results are needed.
How could you find out about a mass of 50 g and a volume of 5 ml?
To find the mass and volume of an object, you need to use a measuring device. For example, you can use a balance to measure the mass of the object and a graduated cylinder to measure its volume. Once you have these measurements, you can record the mass as 50 grams and the volume as 5 milliliters.
