The easiest way to measure the amount of fluid it displaces. So if you fill a graduated cylinder with a certain amount of water, and then place the solid object inside the cylinder, the water level will increase. The amount of increase equals the solid objects mass. EUREKA!

What are the parts of a gas cylinder?

A cylinder is a basic geometric three dimensional figure. The base is a circle. A cylinder can be described as an enclosed tube. It cannot be classified as a polygon since all of the sides are not segments.


How do you figure the bursting pressure of a high pressure gas cylinder?

The bursting pressure of a high-pressure gas cylinder is typically calculated based on the material strength, thickness, and geometry of the cylinder, as well as the pressure rating it is designed for. Engineering calculations, such as the Barlow's formula or finite element analysis, are used to determine the maximum pressure the cylinder can withstand before failure. It is important to follow regulatory standards and guidelines when designing and testing high-pressure gas cylinders.


How could you figure out the volume of a rock that has broken and chipped edges?

Drop it in water. Fill a graduated cyllinder with water to cover the sample and record the volume. Then gently lower the rock sample into the water and record how much the water rose. The difference is the volume of the rock. Drop it in water. Fill a graduated cyllinder with water to cover the sample and record the volume. Then gently lower the rock sample into the water and record how much the water rose. The difference is the volume of the rock.


Why do you need to measure the mass of a empty graduated cylinder first?

What you really need to know is the mass of the liquid. You'll most likely measure itby weighing the liquid when it's in the container. The weight you measure will includethe weight of the container, and you'll have to subtract that away in order to knowthe weight of the liquid alone.If you can figure out a way to weigh the liquid when it's out of the container, thenyou'll never need to do anything about the mass of the container, not even measure it.


How do you figure out the density of a cylinder when all you know is the mass and volume?

You can't. There are an infinite number of cylinders with different dimensionsthat all have the same volume, so the volume alone isn't enough informationto tell you the dimensions.

How could you measure the volume of an object with an irregular shape?

One way to figure this out is to put the object in a graduated cylinder containing water and measuring the changes in the volume of the water.


How does a piece of metal in a graduated cylinder of water allows you to figure out the volume?

The reading on the graduated scale is taken before and after the metal is lowered into the cylinder . The second reading is subtracted from the first. This gives the volume of the metal in cubic centimetres.


Explain Why is the surface of water in a graduated cylinder curved?

it is probably called figure it out, it is curved because glass is sticky. When you measure the volume from a graduated cylinder, measure at the bottom of it. It is called the meniscus.

How would you neasure the volume of an object with an irregular shape?

How can you measure a 12 sided figure using a graduated cilinder?

Place the 12 sided figure into the graduated cylinder, then fill the cylinder with water. Take note of how high the water level is (W1) . Fish out the 12 sided figure without removing much of the water. Take note of how high the water level is now (W2). The volume of the 12 sided object equals the difference in water level (W1 - W2).


How can you figure out the density of a irregular rock?

To determine the density of an irregular rock, you can use the water displacement method. First, measure the initial volume of water in a graduated cylinder. Then, submerge the rock completely in the water and measure the new water level; the difference in volume indicates the rock's volume. Finally, divide the mass of the rock (measured using a scale) by the volume obtained from the water displacement to calculate the density.
