A gallon is a measure of volume while a ruler measures distance. But if you were to measure the dimentions of the bucket you can calculate the cubic cm of the bucket.

Convert gallons in cubic centimeters (mililiters are equivalent) first. (look it up.)
To build a formulae you need to know something about the shape of the bucket - I'm going to assume the bucket is a vertical cylinder where the top and bottom are circular of the same size because that's simplier, if it were harder, you're going to have trouble in this class.
so the volume of the cylinder is the height times the area of the base. Look up area of the a circle, reminder that radius will be half the "width" of the bucket.
so your volume (cm^3) = height (cm) x area of the circle base (cm^2)
Solve your equation for height, plug in your volume and radius (or leave it as r if they don't give you a specific radius)

That depends on the radius of the bucket, if you want to no how many cubic cm is in a gallon then the answer can be found in two steps, convert gallons into liters and divide the result by 1000.

Unfortunately, you can't asnwer that question with the information supplied.
Now, it looks like you want a conversion between gallons and liters (to make the cm part make sense)
1.00000 Gallons (US) = 3.78541 Liters
3.78541 L = 3785.41 cubic cm
However, that doesn't help you without knowing how big the bucket is around.
Volume of a cylinder = pi * r * r *h
So as a wild guess, lets assume the bucket has a radius of 10 cm
3785.41 cubic cm = pi * 10cm * 10 cm * h
3785.41 cubic cm = pi * h * 100
3785.41 cubic cm /100CM2 = pi * h
37.8541 cm = pi * h
37.8541 cm / pi = h
12.05 cm = H
As you change the radius of the bucket, the height has to increase to match the same volume.

Thats an extremely vague question. Are you referring to buoyancy? You'd need the density and dimensions of the ruler. If you're just talking about a gallon bucket, it would depend on the dimensions of the bucket.

centimeters is a linear (straight) measurement. You can't use that measurement for the content or volume of a bucket. Besides, you didn't give the dimension of the bucket so no one can answer your question no matter what you were really trying to get at.

A gallon is a volume, so it would depend on the diameter of the bucket.

what if you have a 1 inch thin tube bucket that is miles high..
or what if you have a 1 in high bucket that is miles wide...
so you need to really know the height/width of the bucket..

without knowing the specific shape and dimensions of the bucket, no specific answer is possible
