Graduated measuring cylinders are generally used for measuring liquids.
You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.
it depends... why would you use a graduated cylinder?
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
During the chemistry experiment we had to measure the quantity of the liquids careful by using a graduated cylinder.
The volume of a liquid.
Fill the graduated cylinder with water, and measure the volume. Now put the item in, measure the water's volume again, and take the difference
To measure 20 milliliters using a graduated cylinder, pour liquid into the cylinder until the meniscus (the curved surface) lines up with the 20 ml mark on the graduated scale. Make sure to read the measurement at eye level for accuracy.
The first thing you have to determine when using a graduated cylinder is the volume of liquid it can hold and the smallest volume increment it can measure. This helps ensure that you are using the appropriate graduated cylinder for your measurements and that you are able to read the volume accurately.

not quite. you can measure volume in a graduated cylinder. you can use a scale, water, and a graduated cylinder to find out the density of an object by filling the graduated cylinder to an easily calculated point (250) then dropping your object in the water making sure none splashes out then measure the difference, then weigh it and divide the mass by volume to get density.
To measure the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, you simply pour the liquid into the cylinder and read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid. The volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm).
