To find the volume of the cylinder, multiply the height of it by the area of its base (its bottom). The volume of a cylinder is expressed as V = h(pi r^2). If you want to find an approximate volume for the substance in the cylinder, multiply the height of the substance by the base of the cylinder. Again, V = h(pi r^2).

Can you calculate the volume of an item without knowing the density?

It is quite simple if it is a regular shaped object like a cylinder or a cube. For example if you wanted calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius of the circular cross-section of the cylinder - this is the measurement from the centre of the circle, to the outer-edge and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder. For irregular shaped objects don't think there is a simple mathematical way if you don't know the density but you can always use water displacement to get a volume measurement. Just drop the object you want to know the volume off into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water - the amount the level rises will be roughly equal to the volume of the object you dropped in.

What do you call the procedure that helps you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object while using a graduated cylinder?

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.


What are the properties of a cylinder filled with water?

A cylinder filled with water has properties such as volume, surface area, and weight. The volume of water in the cylinder is determined by its height and radius. The surface area of the cylinder is the total area of its curved surface and two circular bases. The weight of the water in the cylinder is influenced by its volume and density.
