Volume of a metal cube by water displacement

An example figure from the Volume by Displacement generator.

Two 50 mL graduated cylinders with magnified views: water at 20.0 mL before, and at 28.0 mL after a cube is added — Two 50 mL graduated cylinders, each with a magnified view of its meniscus. The water reads 20.0 mL before and 28.0 mL after a cube is dropped in, so the cube’s volume is 8.0 mL (8.0 cm³). Pair it with the cube’s mass for a density question.
