displacement - invented by Archimedes. Completely fill a large volume of something with water. Have a spout to channel all excess water. Place a graduated cylinder under the spout. Place irregular object in the large volume filled with water. The volume of the irregular object will displace an equivalent volume of water into the graduated cylinder. The measured volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object.
We usually call this procedure water displacement or just displacement. The object will take up space when dropped into the graduated cylinder. The difference between the two measurements will give the volume of that object.
If the object in question is water proof, and small enough. You can measure the amount of displaced water when it is placed in a tank full of water, this may not work for a lot of things but it can help when attempting to measure some objects.
The easiest way is to place the graduated cylinder on a scale or balance and measure the weight. You would then calculate from the weight (a force measured in kg, usually) to determine the mass.
A beaker can be a graduated cylinder, so there is no real answer to this.A beaker can be a graduated cylinder, so there is no real answer to this.
The least dense liquid is found at the bottom of the graduated cylinder, because the less dense it is, the farther it will go down in th graduated cylinder.
Both a balance and a graduated cylinder are used as measuring instruments, with the balance applied to discover weight and the graduated cylinder used to discover volume.
Volume displacement.
It is the displacement method.

This would be called a graduated cillender. But the ccs vary in this tool...from 100 to 1000 * * * * * A graduated CYLINDER might be a better choice!
By water displacement. Pour a certain volume of water into a graduated cylinder, and record that volume. Now, place the irregularly shaped object into the cylinder, and record the level to which the water now rises. Take the difference between those two volumes, and you now have the volume of your irregularly shaped object.
The graduated cylinder is obviously graduated and the other one isn't.

Graduated cylinder is a tool to measure volumes.
Use a graduated cylinder.
A graduated cylinder is measured in "cc"
