Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
The best way to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object is to place it in a graduated cylinder full of water or some other liquid, and measure how much the level increased. Since one milliliter is equal to 1 cm3 you simply convert the amount displaced and you have the volume.
You can always improvise a larger graduated cylinder if you want to. Mark a line on the inside of a bucket showing where the water level is without the added irregularly shaped object (or use abathtup, garbage can, or whatever container is large enough) and then mark another line at the height to which the water rises when the object is added. You can then calculate how much volume was required to raise the water than much, by adding measured amounts of water.
a graduated cylinder is filled with water to a level of 40.0 mL. when a piece of copper is lowered into the cylinder, the water level rises to 63.4 mL. Find the volume of the coppersample . If the density if the copper is 8.9g/cm, what is the coppers mass?
To determine the volume of an irregular object using graduated cylinders, you fill a graduated cylinder with water right to the top, then submerge the object in the water. Measure the water that overflows using a second graduated cylinder, and read the water level in it in cc's or cubic inches. That is the object's volume.

Yes you can. You put liquid (usually water) in the graduated cylinder. Then record how much liquid you put in it. Next, put the object in the graduated cylinder. Look at where the water level is now. Take that number and subtract the amount of water you put in and that should give you the approximate volume of the object.
Put water in the cylinder to a level that would cover the object. Drop the item in and if it sinks, read the new level on the graduations. The difference in volume between the two marks, is the volume of the item.
Step 1) Fill the graduated cylinder with water to a specific volume (example: 50ml).Step 2) Drop the irregular shaped object into the graduated cylinder.Step 3) Measure the new level of the water in the graduated cylinder.Step 4) The difference in volumes in the graduated cylinder equals the volume of the irregular objectexample:original volume of water in cylinder = 50mlvolume of water in cylinder with irregular object = 55ml55ml - 50ml = volume of irregular object in the water = 5ml
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. For a small object immersed in a graduated cylinder or beaker, the volume displaced by the object can be read directly from the scale on the container.
You should read a graduated cylinder at eye level. See the related link for rules regarding menisci.
A graduated cylinder has a constant diameter and a printed scale on its side that indicates volume inside the graduated cylinder for any given liquid level. A flask has none of these advantages.
The fact that they are waterproof. Partly but they take space in the water and as a result water is displaced and rises.
You can read the measurements wrongly depending on the type of liquid used to measure the volume for irregularly shaped objects. You should determine whether the liquid used forms an upper or lower meniscus. For regularly shaped objects, errors occur when you read the units are rounded off.
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!
