A.
a triple beam balance
B.
a spring scale
C.
a graduated cylinder
D.
a metric ruler

Answer 1

A triple beam balance measures the mass of an object.

You can put an object on it and then move the weights. It has nothing to do with water what so ever. Neither does it have anything to do with volume.

Answer 2

A spring scale is a scale that is used to weigh things
I don't know very much about them, but you can learn more about them

They have nothing to do with measuring water volume though.

Answer 3

Now, we have a graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of water. You measure it by putting water inside of it and then seeing where it measures at.
