No. A waterspout is a vortex of air, essentially a tornado on water. The low pressure in the waterspout causes the moiat air in it to cool, which causes water droplets to condense, forming a funnel cloud. A waterspout will also spray up some water from the surface, but not a very significant amount.

How do you figure out the volume of an irregular solid since you cannot pour a solid into a graduated cylinder?

The easiest way to measure the amount of fluid it displaces. So if you fill a graduated cylinder with a certain amount of water, and then place the solid object inside the cylinder, the water level will increase. The amount of increase equals the solid objects mass. EUREKA!


Will density of a liquid increase if parts of the solid sticks out of the water?

No. Density is an intrinsic property and does not depend on the amount or size of the sample. If you are referring to finding the volume of an irregular solid by water displacement, then you will get a very large experimental error if the solid sticks out of the water. The amount of water added to the graduated cylinder initially, must be enough to completely cover the solid, before you place the solid in the cylinder.
