A graduated cylinder, measuring cup, or beaker can be used to measure liquid volume accurately. It is important to use the correct measuring tool and ensure the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) is at the correct measurement line for accuracy.

You would use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of a liquid. Simply pour the liquid into the cylinder and read the volume at the meniscus, the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid.
While a kilogram is a unit of mass, it can indirectly be used to measure the volume of a liquid by converting the mass to a volume using the liquid's density. The density of the liquid will determine how much volume is equivalent to a kilogram of that liquid.
A balance or scale is commonly used to measure the mass of a liquid. The liquid is often placed in a container on the balance, which then provides a readout of the mass. Alternatively, a volumetric flask or graduated cylinder can be used to measure the volume of the liquid, which can then be used to calculate the mass if the density of the liquid is known.
To find the density of a liquid, you need to measure its mass and volume. The formula for density is density mass/volume. First, measure the mass of the liquid using a scale. Then, measure the volume of the liquid using a graduated cylinder. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the liquid.
No, a laser pointer cannot measure the sugar content of a liquid. To measure sugar content, you would need a specialized device like a refractometer or a hydrometer. These tools work by measuring the refractive index or density of the liquid, which correlates with its sugar content.
