This would make the experimental results for density erroneously higher.
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
If some of the water splashes out, then the volume that you measure will be inaccurate, in that it will appear to be less than it actually is. This will cause the calculated density to be inaccurate, in that it will appear to be greater than it actually is.
Depending on how accurate you want to be you can use a variety of methods. Common methods include the following (with increasing level of accuracy) 1) graduated cylinder 2) volumetric pipette. 3) Calibrated micro-pipette (may require more than one transfer)
A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware used to accurately measure out volumes of chemicals for use in reactions. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than beakers or erlenmeyer flasks, although not as precise as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipet. They come in a variety of sizes for different volumes, typically 10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, or 100 mL and up to as large as 1 or 2 liters.Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by reading the bottom of the meniscus at eye level.In other words, holding the graduated cylinder at eye level, the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid (called the meniscus) is where you read off the mark on the graduated cylinder to determine the volume properly.

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.
You cannot measure the mass of a solid with a graduated cylinder.
density -------- Graduated cyllinders are used to measure volumes of liquids, powders or fine granules.
The question seems absurd has no meaning. measuring cylinder is a device to measure the volume. if you want to find density of a cube, you an find volume displaced and knowing mass can find the density - Archimedean principle it is beyond the scope of this page to answer fully
You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.
You MEASURE mass with a balance. You MEASURE volume (if liquid) with a graduated cylinder. Then take these and divide. density = mass divided by volume.
Two common pieces of equipment used to find density are a balance and a graduated cylinder. The balance is used to measure the mass of the object, while the graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of the object. By dividing the mass by the volume, you can determine the density of the object.
No, a thermometer is not a graduated cylinder. A thermometer is used to measure temperature, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure volume of liquids.
measure the volume of liquid that the object displaces
Graduated cylinder is a tool to measure volumes.
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
To measure the density in lip gloss using household things u use a graduated cylinder
