Unless you have experience with calculus, your best bet is to do water displacement: Put the object in a known amount of water and record the change and calculate the difference or liquid displacement

1) Immerse it into a liquid; see how much liquid gets displaced.
2) Use integration.

How do you we measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
What method used to measure irregular solids?
To measure what quantity of irregular solids? If its volume you are referring then you can use the volume displacement method where you need a measuring cylinder, water and possibly a displacement can.Measure a known quantity of water. Then immerse the irregular solid in this cylinder. The rise in the water level equals the volume of the irregular solid. Note that if the irregular object floats, a sinker must be used to fully immerse the irregular solid, where the volume of the sinker should be known.Hope this helps- if you need more information email me @ physicsisland@hotmail.com
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite volume?
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
What phases of matter have a definite shape?
Only a solid has a definite shape. It also has a definite volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but an indefinite shape. A gas has both an indefinte shape and volume. Same for plasma. Hope this helps!
What kind of shape volume and particles solid have?
solid have definite shape , definite volume and close together particles
How can you measure the volume of an irregular solid?
It's simple, you just have to take a measurable recipient big enough to contain the solid, fill the recipient with a known volume of water and drop the irregular solid into the water. Then you can measure the increase of volume, which will be equivalent to the volume of your solid.
Can you use a balance to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid?
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
How do you measure the volume irregular solid?
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
How will you measure volume of irregular solid?
use a ruler to measure the lenght of each side of the object
How do you we measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
How do you get the volume of any shape regular or irregular?
if it is a solid, use the water displacement method.
What measure the volume of large irregular solid?
The pieces are then dipped in a cup full of liquid volume measure, we have been frustrated. Archimedes law.
How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
How do you measure a irregular solid?
You use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the rock with the water and the water without the rock

How to get the volume of an irregularly shape or solid?
Measure the volume of the water you have. Insert irregular solid. Measure the volume of the water you have now, and subtract the initial water volume from the new water volume. The difference in volumes is the volume of your irregular solid.
How do you find the density of an irregular shape solid?
Mass divided by volume, just like anything else.
