Moving forward, to find the volume of the metal object, the graduated cylinder was filled with water. The initial volume in the graduated cylinder read 21.0 mL. The metal object was then placed in the graduated cylinder carefully, as to not splash water. In the graduated cylinder of 21.0 mL, the metal object raised the water to 24.1 mL, thus the object was 3.1 mL for measurement 1. In a graduated cylinder of 21.0 mL, the metal object raised the water to 24.0 mL, thus the metal object was 3.0 mL for measurement 2. In a graduated cylinder of 21.0 mL, the metal object raised the water level to 23.9 mL, thus the object was 2.9 mL for measurement 3. The density of the metal object was then calculated using the formula density equals mass divided
