Question: 1 / 400

Which tool measures the volume of an object?

thermometer

graduated cylinder

The graduated cylinder is specifically designed to measure the volume of liquids and can also be used for measuring the volume of irregularly shaped objects through the water displacement method. Its precise markings allow for accurate readings, making it a key instrument in scientific measurements of volume.

In contrast, a thermometer is used to measure temperature, a balance measures mass, and a barometer measures atmospheric pressure. None of these tools are suitable for measuring volume directly, reinforcing the relevance of the graduated cylinder in this context.
