The cylinder measures volume, the balance measures weight.
The curve on a graduated cylinder is called a meniscus. It occurs due to surface tension between the liquid and the container, causing the liquid to curve at the edges. When measuring volume in a graduated cylinder, the bottom of the meniscus should be used for accurate readings.
You can use a graduated cylinder to measure an object's volume.Fill the cylinder with water up to some convenient mark that's deeper than the object, and notethe volume of water in the cylinder. Than immerse the object in the water in the cylinder and notethe volume again. The difference between the two volume readings is the volume of the object.In my house, we have graduated cylinders which we refer to as our "measuring cups".
displacement - invented by Archimedes. Completely fill a large volume of something with water. Have a spout to channel all excess water. Place a graduated cylinder under the spout. Place irregular object in the large volume filled with water. The volume of the irregular object will displace an equivalent volume of water into the graduated cylinder. The measured volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object.
The center of mass of a solid cylinder is at its geometric center, which is the midpoint of its axis. This point represents the balance point of the cylinder, where its mass is evenly distributed in all directions.
First find the mass of the object. You need to find the volume of the irregular object. You do this by water displacement. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, you fill the cylinder with enough water to completely cover the object. DO NOT put the object in yet. Record that volume. Then gently place the object into the cylinder and record the new volume of water. The difference between the first and second volume is the volume of the object in mL, which is the same as cm3. If the object is too big to fit in a graduated cylinder, you can use an overflow can. You fill the can completely with water. The can has a downspout that will allow the water to flow out of the can. To do this, fill an overflow can completely with water. Allow the excess water to drain out of the downspout. Then place a beaker under the downspout. Gently put the object into the overflow can and catch the water that flows out in the beaker. Pour the water into a graduated cylinder and read the volume. This is the volume of the irregular solid. You can also hold a graduated cylinder under the downspout and let the water flow into the cylinder directly. The volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object. Once you have the volume of the irregular solid, you can use the density formula to find density. Density = mass/volume. See the related links below.
The cylinder measures volume, the balance measures weight.
The graduated cylinder is obviously graduated and the other one isn't.
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object by comparing it to known weights, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid. The balance provides a quantitative measure of mass in grams, while the graduated cylinder provides a quantitative measure of volume in milliliters.
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid. Balances typically use a scale to determine weight, while graduated cylinders have volume markings along the side for measurement.

There's not too much of a difference between a graduated cylinder and a measuring cup, other than 'graduated cylinder' is more science talk.
Technically, as long as both are 'accurate,' both are acceptable. However, we don't live in an ideal world. In a 10mL graduated cylinder, the height difference between 1mL is visible, where in a 1L (1000mL) graduated cylinder, 1mL of difference isn't quite visible.
A test tube is a cylindrical container used for holding small amounts of liquid or solids for testing or mixing. A graduated cylinder is a tall, narrow cylinder with volume markings used to measure the volume of liquids. The main difference is that a graduated cylinder is used for precise volume measurements, while a test tube is for general purposes.
Note the level of water in the graduated cylinder. Place the rock into the water carefully. Note the higher level to which the water rises. The difference between the old level and the new level is the volume displaced by the rock.

The curve on a graduated cylinder is called a meniscus. It occurs due to surface tension between the liquid and the container, causing the liquid to curve at the edges. When measuring volume in a graduated cylinder, the bottom of the meniscus should be used for accurate readings.
A pipette is a more precise measuring tool used for transferring small volumes of liquid accurately, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure larger volumes. Pipettes typically have a finer scale for precise measurements, while graduated cylinders are suitable for general volume measurements.
