The best way to find the volume of an irregular solid is to submerge it in a liquid and see how much the liquid rises. You can also use calculus and tripple integrals, but that gets really sticky.

How do you calculate the volume of irregular solids Describe please An irregular solid is like a toy car so how would you measure the volume of that Dont understand need help click on and find out?
The volumes of small irregular solids are usually easily measured by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when they are immersed in a liquid. For example: You would have to put the object in a measuring glass with water in it. (~1/3 filled) Put the object in it and then get the number from the measuring glass (beaker etc. mostly beaker) and that is how you measure a irregular solid!
How do you find volume of a regular solid like a wooden block?
You multiply base by height times length or depth and you got yourself a volume.
How do you measure a irregular shaped solid like a cube?
A cube is hardly an irregularly shaped object. Measuring it is the defining term of area and volume. A cube is defined as having twelve sides, all lengths uniform, all angles right angles. If the length of any side is 'a' then area = 6*a*a volume = a*a*a
How do you get the volume of an irregular and regular shape?
Any regular shape,like a cube or sphere, can be described mathematically and its volume can be calculated easily. An irregular shape, such as a rock can be mesured by displacment of water, or by scanning it in three dimensions.If the object's density is known, it need only be weighed. volume is a amount of mater space takes up TY! PEOPLE!
What are solids?
A solid is a hard thing like wood. Wood is a solid because it can not be squashed but it has a set shape and a set volume. Mainly it can not be poured.
How do you find the density of an irregular shape solid?
Mass divided by volume, just like anything else.
How do you find the volume of an irregular solid like an watch?
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid such as a watch is found by immersing that solid in water inside a graduated cylinder. You can then simply read the change in water level off the markings on the cylinder. Of course, if your watch is not water proof, this may not be such a good idea.

If you have an irregular stone about the size of a golf ball outline how to find it s volume?
deep it in water like archemides
How do you find volume of a regular solid like a wooden block?
You multiply base by height times length or depth and you got yourself a volume.
How will you determine the density of an irregular solid like pebbles?
Throw it in the water
What do you use to find the volume of an irregular solid?
You put water in a bowl and measure how much water you have in the bowl. Then place the object in the bowl and see how much water you have now. Then subtract what you have now by the measurement you had before and that's the volume of the irregular object.
How do you find the density of a regular shaped solid like a cube?
Since mass is usually expressed in grams and volume in cubic centimeters, density is expressed in grams/cubic centimeter. For solids that have an irregular shape, the displacement method must be used to determine their volume. Choose a graduated cylinder large enough to hold the object.
How do you find the volume when mass and density is gone?
You would need to measure the volume directly by making measurements using some kind of laboratory apparatus. You would use a graduated cylinder if it's a liquid. If it's a regular solid like a cube or rectangle, you could measure it's length, width, and height and calculate volume with a ruler or meter stick. If it's an irregular solid, you can find it's volume using an overflow by water displacement. However, if you do not have the substance available to actually measure, it will be impossible to determine the volume using the density formula. You must have two of the variables in order to calculate the missing one.
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite volume?
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
Does a solid have to have a definite shape but not a definite volume?
Sounds more like a liquid than a solid
How do you calculate volume of irregular shape like the volume of the bucket of an excavator machine?
Place water into the bucket of the machine until full. Dump out all of the water in the bucket into a larger container with marked volumes (something like a large measuring cup should suffice). This should give you the volume of the irregular object.
