When a rock is placed into a graduated cylinder containing 80 mL of water, the water level rises due to the displacement caused by the volume of the rock. The new water level can be read from the graduated markings on the cylinder, indicating the total volume of water plus the rock. The difference between the initial water level and the new level gives the volume of the rock itself. This principle is based on Archimedes' principle of displacement.

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 method would be best to obtain 60ml of water weighing it or using the graduated cylinder?

Using a graduated cylinder would be the best method to obtain 60ml of water. Graduated cylinders are specifically designed to measure liquid volumes accurately, making it a more precise tool for this task compared to weighing the water.


What instrument measures the capacity of a water bottle?

A graduated cylinder or a beaker can be used to measure the volume or capacity of a water bottle by pouring water from the bottle into the measuring instrument and reading the volume indicated on the scale.


Why does water in a graduated cylinder form a miniscus?

Water in a graduated cylinder forms a meniscus due to the capillary action, which is the result of the water molecules being attracted to the walls of the cylinder. This causes the water's surface to curve slightly upward or downward at the edges, creating the meniscus shape.


What is the volume of the water in a 8 ml Graduated cylinder?

A milliliter is comparable to one cubic centimeter, so if you have 8 ml of water, you have 8 centimeters cubed.
