Variables

D = Cylinder diameter [L].

Dbot = Cone bottom diameter [L].

Dtop = Cone top diameter [L].

h = Cone height [L].

L = Cylinder length [L].

T = Top width of liquid in cylinder [L].

y = Liquid depth in sphere or cylinder [L].

z = Horizontal to vertical side slope of cone. z<0 if Dtop0 if Dtop>Dbot.

Ø = Angle representing how full the cylinder is [radians or degrees]. An empty cylinder has Ø=0o, a cylinder with Ø=180o is half full, and a cylinder with Ø=360o is completely full.

A graduated cylinder is used to find the VOLUME of a liquid.


Can you explain how to read the meniscus in a graduated cylinder when measuring the volume of a liquid?

To read the meniscus in a graduated cylinder when measuring liquid volume, look at the bottom of the curve where the liquid meets the cylinder. Read the measurement at eye level to get an accurate volume reading.


If a cylinder of radius 2cm and height 4cm is submerged in a graduated cylinder of radius 3 cm containing a liquid By how much does the liquid rise?

I would say that the liquid rises by 1.77cm... This can be obtained as follows given that cylinder of radius(r)=2cm, height(h)=4cm is submerged in another cylinder, determining the volume of the cylinder being submerged =16*pi. When this cylinder is placed in another cylinder the liquid will rise by an amount which equals the volume of the cylinder being inserted.(By Archimedes principle). Using this 16*pi, determine the height using radius= 3cm , we get h=1.77cm


What type of tool would you use to find the volume of a liquid?

Measure the container itself, or measure the mass of the liquid and the container and find the density of that certain liquid has and isolate for the volume.


How can you find the density of a liquid using a graduated cylinder?

Density of an object is defined as mass per unit volume. Density - mass/volume (m/v) To find the density of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, you first of all take a measurement of the mass of the empty graduated cylinder (m1) and write it down. Lets say the mass is 0.5 kg (500 grams) Then fill the cylinder with the liquid that you want to find the density for and note down the volume (v). For easier calculation take 1 liter of the liquid. Now take a measurement of the mass of the cylinder with the liquid (m2) in it and write it down. Subtract the mass of the empty cylinder from the mass of the cylinder and liquid combined to get the mass of the liquid (m = m2 - m1). Now divide the result z by the volume (v) of the liquid. density = m/v

How do you measure the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder?

To measure the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, you simply pour the liquid into the cylinder and read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid. The volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm).

What volume of Liquid is in each cylinder?

To determine the volume of liquid in each cylinder, you need to measure the height of the liquid and multiply it by the cross-sectional area of the cylinder's base. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the liquid. Ensure all measurements are in the same units for accurate results. If you have specific measurements, I can help you calculate the volume.
