How do you measure the density of an irregular object like a ball?
You need to do the water displacement method. The water displacement needs a graduated cylinder and water.
How to calculate density weight for aluminum?
Get a sample of the metal. Use a scale to find its mass. If it is shape is that of a rectangular solid (box) measure length, width, and height and multiply to find volume. If it is irregularly shaped, use the water displacement method to find its volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
Why is displacement of water an example of an indirect measurement?
Water displacement is a method to measure volume
What do you use the water displacement method to measure?
Volume (cubic cm, cubic in. etc.)
What is formula for calculating an object's density?
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
What is the name of the method by which the volume of an irregularly shaped object is found?
the water displacement method
Which is more accurate to measure density Archimedes principle or water displacement method?
They are both the same. displacement method is another name for Archimedes' principle

What do you call the procedure that helps you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using a graduated cylinder?
It is the displacement method.
How do you find the volume of an element?
You divide the mass by density
Is there another method to determine the density of an irregular solid outside of the water displacement method?
I think to the helium pycnometry.
How could you measure the volume of granulated sugar?
Use the water displacement method
How do you determine the mass of an irregular shaped object using displacement method?
The displacement method is used to determine volume. However, if you know the density, the displacement test can give volume, which is used to work out mass by the formula m = dV
