You can find the volume of an object bigger than the graduated cylinder by using the displacement method using a beaker. The object also can be measured with a rules length, width, and height.

Which property of marbles causes the water level to rise when they are put in a graduated cylinder?

The property of marbles causing the water level to rise in a graduated cylinder is due to their volume displacing an equal volume of water. The principle behind this is Archimedes' principle, which states that the volume of an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the volume of the fluid it displaces.


What quantity do you measure with a graduated cylinder?

Well gee...it depends on the graduated cylinder. I've seen graduated cylinders that hold 50 ml. I've seen ones that hold a liter. I've also seen 50,000-gallon diesel storage tanks at truck stops that have fuel level markings on them. So...a graduated cylinder can hold anywhere from 50 milliliters to 50,000 gallons.


What is the density of a chunk of silicon weighing 8.763 was placed in a graduated cylinder containing 25.00 of water the water level in the cylinder rose to 28.76?

Mass of silicon = 8.763 (grams? tons?) Volume of silicon = 28.76 - 25.00 (cc? cubic meters?) = ..... Density = Mass of silicon divided by Volume of silicon. = ....... gms/cc? tons/cubic-metre?


Pyrex graduated cylinder has a volume of exactly 200mL at 0 degrees Celsius?

increase The coefficient :3.25x10-7 The expansion of each dimension is: 32.5 x10-7 x 100 = 32.5 x10-5 Each dimension increases by this amount, so volume increases by 32.5 x10-5 cubed, which is 34 E-12 so the volume will increase by 200ml x 34 E-12 = 6,800 E-12 ml


What measuring tool would you use to measure an amount of soil?

You can use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the length, width, and depth of the soil, and then multiply these measurements to calculate the volume of the soil in cubic units. You can also use a graduated cylinder or beaker to measure the volume of soil in milliliters.

How do I find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?

To find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder, you can use the method of water displacement. Fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water, then carefully submerge the irregular object in the water. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the object. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to determine the volume of the irregular object.


If an object floats in a beaker as shown assuming the graduated cylinder was empty when the object was placed in the beaker and the beaker was full to the level of the spout what must be true?

stop cheating on gizmos, fool. :)The Answer: The mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object.lol


To find the density of an object you would use a graduated cylinder to find what characteristic of the object?

You can use a graduated cylinder to measure an object's volume.Fill the cylinder with water up to some convenient mark that's deeper than the object, and notethe volume of water in the cylinder. Than immerse the object in the water in the cylinder and notethe volume again. The difference between the two volume readings is the volume of the object.In my house, we have graduated cylinders which we refer to as our "measuring cups".


How can you calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped 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.


How do you find the volume of an object using the graduated cylinder?

By pouring a set amount of water into the cylinder then addin the object and seeing how much the volume changes. The amount of change is the volume of the object.


When do you use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of an object?

A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid, not an object. To measure the volume of a solid object, you would typically use a ruler to calculate its dimensions and then use a formula (e.g., V = l × w × h for a rectangular object) to determine its volume.


How could the volume of a 12 sided object be found using water and a graduated cylinder?

it can be found by first taking the volume of the water itself and then the volume of the object in the water. you pour water into the 12-sided object, then measure the amount of water using the graduated cylinder. Then you do this: length x width x height = volume


Calculate the density of water using a graduated cylinder?

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.


What are two different ways to measure volume?

length x width x height or put water in a graduated cylinder, and measure the volume of water. then place the object in the graduated cylinder and record the new volume of the water. subtract the old volume from the new, and that is the volume of the object.


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.


How is the volume of an irregular object measured?

by a graduated cylinder (don't rely on this answer i am not sure of it)


What can be used to mesure the volume of a solid object?

You can measure the volume of a solid object using a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Simply fill the graduated cylinder with water to a certain level, then place the solid object in the water and measure the increase in volume. The difference in volume before and after the object is added will give you the volume of the object.
