What is water displacement?

Answer 1

Water displacement is simply when something (e.g. a block) is put into water, and the water level rises. This is because the block is taking up space, and the water has to move somewhere, and the only place to go is up.

Answer 2

The method of putting an object in a graduated cylinder with a set ammount of water, and recording the ammount of water that appears on the cylinder afterwards to find the volume of that object.

Answer 3

Water displacement is a method used to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object by measuring the volume of water it displaces when submerged in a container of water. The difference in water level before and after the object is submerged corresponds to the volume of the object. This technique is based on Archimedes' principle.

Answer 4

Water displacement is usually how you measure the volume of an object. It is when you place an object in water how much water is pushed aside.

Answer 5

Displacement of water refers to placing an object into a sample of water, which will cause the water level to rise. The rise in water level is the displacement.
