Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.
For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).
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.
well, for an irregularly shaped object it is a eureka can or a graduated cylinder, but for a regularly shaped object it is a simple formula: Length*Width*Height. I am 10 years old and learned that in science class.
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
The volume of a solid (whether regularly or irregularly shaped) can be determined by fluid displacement. Displacement of liquid can also be used to determine the volume of a gas. The combined volume of two substances is usually greater than the volume of just one of the substances. However, sometimes one substance dissolves in the other and in such cases the combined volume is not additive.
mass over volume
If the regularly shaped solid were hollow, the error introduced in the determination of density would be an underestimate of the true density. This is because the calculation of density involves dividing the mass by the volume, which would mistakenly include the volume of the hollow space, leading to a lower density value.
For a simple regular shape, then calculating its volume, and measuring its weight would be the appropriate approach. For this you'll need a ruler, and a weight balance. Its density is given by weight per unit volume. e.g. 1.35 grams per ml.

The displacement method is best used to determine the volume of irregularly shaped objects that cannot be measured directly using traditional methods such as length, width, and height measurements. It involves measuring the volume of water displaced when the object is submerged in a known volume of water.
To establish the density of a solid rectangular shaped object, you would first measure its mass using a scale. Then, measure its dimensions (length, width, and height) with a ruler to calculate its volume. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to determine the density, which is expressed in units such as grams per cubic centimeter.
