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.

What measurement tool do you use to measure volume?

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).


How is the volume of an irregularly shaped solid measured?

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.


The can that use to measure the volume of 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.


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 work out the volume of a truncated cylinder?

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.


How do you find the volume of a regular shaped solid?

mass over volume


What error would be introduced into the determination of the density of the regularly shape solid if the solid were hollow?

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.


What tools are used to measure the density of a regularly shaped solid?

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.


What unit do you use when measuring the volume of a regular shaped solid?

m3

When is it best to use the displacement method to determine the volume of a solid?

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.


How do you establish the density of a solid rectangular shaped object?

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.
