Can you use a balance to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid?

Archimedes did.

First, you need to get a graduated cylinder filled up with water and record the volume.Next, you put an irregularly object into a graduated cylinder fill with water. Then, you measure the volume of the graduated cylinder with the irregularly shaped object in it.Finally, you subtract the highest volume which was the volume of the graduated cylinder with the irregularly shaped object in it by the regular volume of the graduated cylinder which is the…

You can use water displacement.

You can use the water displacement method to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped solid. For a regularly shaped object you can do length x width x height.

The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.

you can divide it into triangles and add up all of the areas

Do you mean volume? If possible drop the item in a measured volume of water or other liquid and remeasure the volume, then subract the to numbers to get the volume of the item.

Immerse the object completely in a liquid (e.g. water) and measure the volume of liquid displaced.

You can push it under water / under the liquid's surface, and measure the displacement of liquid.

1. Break the object down into regular shapes that can be measured and quantified. 2. Submerge the object in a known volume of liquid (that won't dissolve the object), and measure the change in volume.

You can read the measurements wrongly depending on the type of liquid used to measure the volume for irregularly shaped objects. You should determine whether the liquid used forms an upper or lower meniscus. For regularly shaped objects, errors occur when you read the units are rounded off.

Answer: You find the volume of an irregularly shaped object by water displacement. Answer: Another method is to use integration, which means that for purposes of calculation, the object is divided into lots of small pieces, for example, rectangular-shaped pieces.

We first measure its mass m/g using a balance. Then, we find its volume V/cm3 the displacement method. This is done by finding the volume of water it displaces when it is placed in a measuring cylinder of water. Its density d is given by: d= m/V gcm-3

A beaker, flask, or graduated cylinder. You have to put water in the container, record the volume, then place the object in the container and calculate how much the volume of the water raised.

Use volume displacement method.
