What scientific tool do you use for measuring length volume and mass?
You need different tools these measurements. For mass you want a scale or balance. You can only use the same tool for length and volume (a ruler, caliper or similar) if the object you are measuring is a well defined solid with known geometric shape. Otherwise you will have to perform a measuring experiment for example put the object you want to determine the volume of in a graduated cylinder, pour a known volume of liquid into the cylinder, read the volume and subtract to determine the object's volume.
What dimension needs to be more precise in calculating the volume of a cylinder?
An error in measuring the radius (or diameter) of the cylinder has a greater effect on the accuracy of the volume calculation than an error in measuring the cylinder's length, since the volume is proportional to the square of the radius.
Is a measuring cylinder is used for volume?
Yes, a measuring cylinder is used for measuring volume. It is called a graduated cylinder
What tool used for measuring precise volumes of liquids?
A graduated cylinder is used measuring precise volume of liquids.A graduated cylinder is used measuring precise volume of liquids.
Volume of a paper clip?
Think of a paper clip as a cylinder that has been bent into a specific shape. Determine the volume of the cylinder, and you have the volume of the paper clip. So, the area of the end of the cylinder x length of the cylinder = volume of the paper clip.
Which device is used to determine the volume of a liquid?
The answer depends on the quantity of liquid. A graduated cylinder will not be much use in measuring the volume of liquid in an ocean!
If you know the volume of a cylinder how do you calculate dimensions?
To calculate the volume of a cylinder, first determine the height or length of the cylinder as well as the diameter. Divide the diameter by two to get the radius, then use this formula:Volume = radius2 x Pi x length (or height)
How is volume determined?
By measuring it in a measuring cylinder or beaker or some container of a known volume.
In measuring the length and diameter of a cylinder, which dimension should be measured more carefully Give reasons for the choice of your answer?
In measuring the length and diameter of a cylinder, the diameter should be measured more carefully. This is because the volume of a cylinder is directly proportional to the square of the radius (which is half the diameter). This means that even a small error in the diameter measurement can result in a significant difference in the volume of the cylinder. On the other hand, the length measurement, while also important, is not as critical to the overall volume calculation. In addition, the diameter of a cylinder is typically more difficult to measure accurately than the length, as it requires measuring across the center of the cylinder. Any slight deviation from the true center can result in an inaccurate diameter measurement, so it's important to take great care when measuring this dimension.
What laboratory equipment should I use for measuring volume?
A measuring cylinder
What measuring tool is used for volume?
Cylinder
List two methods of measurement that may be used to determine the volume of object?
Two methods of measuring volume include using water displacement in a graduated cylinder, where the volume of water displaced by the object equals the volume of the object, and using geometric formulas to calculate the volume based on the object's dimensions such as length, width, and height.
