How do you find the volume of composed figures?
You would use the water displacement method. Place an overflow can in a container that can catch the water that flows out of the can. Fill the can completely full of water. Place the figure in the can, and collect the water that flows out of the can. Measure the water that overflowed with a graduated cylinder, and that will give you the volume of the figure in mL. Since 1mL exactly equals 1cm3, you can also know the volume of the figure in cm3.
What is the formula in finding the volume of a graduated cylinder?
The volume of any cylinder is the area of the base times the height. If you know the radius of the base that would be Pi times the Radius squared times the height. Graduated just means it has the increments of measurement marked on the side so you can tell how much liquid you have in it.
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.
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.
What tool can you use to measure the volume of a cube?
Yarn , because that can rap around the cube OR you could use stringy ruler type thing
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

How do you find the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder if you know the volume of the liquid plus submerged ball and the volume of the ball alone is it just a matter of subtraction?
Yes just subtract the volume of the ball from the volume you measure of the liquid.

What is a meniscus why it necessary to know about it when measuring liquids?
The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.
What laboratory equipment would be used to measure the volume of blood?
To measure the volume of any liquid, you use a graduated cylinder. (I'm a bit afraid as to why you would want to know that)
When finding the density of a liquid why must you first find the mass of a graduated cylinder alone?
If you are going to weigh a liquid in a graduated cylinder, the weight that you will get when you place the cylinder on the scale will be the combined weight of the cylinder and its contents. To find the weight of the contents alone, you therefore have to subtract the weight of the empty cylinder. And to calculate density you need to know both the weight and the volume.

How do you find the density of the irregular object?
First find the mass of the object. You need to find the volume of the irregular object. You do this by water displacement. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, you fill the cylinder with enough water to completely cover the object. DO NOT put the object in yet. Record that volume. Then gently place the object into the cylinder and record the new volume of water. The difference between the first and second volume is the volume of the object in mL, which is the same as cm3. If the object is too big to fit in a graduated cylinder, you can use an overflow can. You fill the can completely with water. The can has a downspout that will allow the water to flow out of the can. To do this, fill an overflow can completely with water. Allow the excess water to drain out of the downspout. Then place a beaker under the downspout. Gently put the object into the overflow can and catch the water that flows out in the beaker. Pour the water into a graduated cylinder and read the volume. This is the volume of the irregular solid. You can also hold a graduated cylinder under the downspout and let the water flow into the cylinder directly. The volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object. Once you have the volume of the irregular solid, you can use the density formula to find density. Density = mass/volume. See the related links below.

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 the molarity of Na Cl in a graduated cylinder with 100ml of distilled water?
There isn't enough to answer your question. You've given a volume, but haven't given a weight or amount of moles. I also do not know if there is a relevance to your including the graduated cylinder. A solution should always be made up in a volumetric flask.
