Part II: Determining the Volume Using a Graduated Cylinder

You can also determine the volume using a graduated cylinder. If we assume that water is an incompressible fluid, then when we submerge the object in water, the total volume observed will be the original volume of the water plus the volume of the object. (I.e. the difference in volume is equal to the volume of the object).

1. Obtain a graduated cylinder and pour some water into it. You need enough water to completely cover the object. (I recommend using the water fountain outside to fill the graduated cylinder.)
2. Note the volume of water in mL.
3. Submerge the object in the water, and note the new volume. The difference in

volume is the volume of the object. (1 mL = 1 cm3).

1. Find the densities of both objects.

Mass of object	Initial water level	Submerged	Final volume	density	Percent Error	Height
0.06981 Al	9.5	10	0.001371	50.9131	98.1143	0.5
0.07001 Cu	6.0	6.5	0.001371	51.0649	99.4282	0.5
0.0698 Pb	6.0	6.40	0.0010097	63.6281	99.4369	0.4
