It's simple, you just have to take a measurable recipient big enough to contain the solid, fill the recipient with a known volume of water and drop the irregular solid into the water. Then you can measure the increase of volume, which will be equivalent to the volume of your solid.

How do you obtain the volume of an irregular solid insoluble in water?
Measure the volume of the water you have. Insert irregular solid. Measure the volume of the water you have now, and subtract the initial water volume from the new water volume. The difference in volumes is the volume of your irregular solid.
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 measure the volume of an irregular solid?
When you want to measure the volume of irregular solids place it in a container containing water.The solid if it sinks in water will displace the water to occupy space.The difference in the actual measure of water and the displaced water is the volume of the solid. (this is called Archimedes' Principle)
What instrument is used to measure the volume of an irregular solid?
graduated cylinder
How do you measure the volume of irregular solids?
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
When is the ml the preferred unit to use for volume?
When you need to measure volume of a liquid or an irregular solid
How will you measure volume of irregular solid?
use a ruler to measure the lenght of each side of the object
How do you we measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
What method used to measure irregular solids?
To measure what quantity of irregular solids? If its volume you are referring then you can use the volume displacement method where you need a measuring cylinder, water and possibly a displacement can.Measure a known quantity of water. Then immerse the irregular solid in this cylinder. The rise in the water level equals the volume of the irregular solid. Note that if the irregular object floats, a sinker must be used to fully immerse the irregular solid, where the volume of the sinker should be known.Hope this helps- if you need more information email me @ physicsisland@hotmail.com
What measure the volume of large irregular solid?
The pieces are then dipped in a cup full of liquid volume measure, we have been frustrated. Archimedes law.
What are two ways to measure the volume of solid?
if it is a regular solid, then you times the height by the base by the length if it is an irregular solid, then you take a Eureka can, fill it with water up to the beginning of the nozzle, put the solid in, measure the volume of the water that comes out and that's your volume
How do you measure the volume of a solid that has an irregular shape?
You divide the irregular shape into a buch of smaller regular shapes. Find the volume for those, add them up...and you have the volumee.(:
How can you find the volume of an irregular solid object which sinks?
Measure a volume of liquid that the object will sink in, the put in the object to be measure. then measure the new volume. the difference between the last volume and the beginning volume is the volume of the object.
How do you measure a irregular solid?
You use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the rock with the water and the water without the rock
How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
Used to measure the volume of an irregular object?
You measure the volume of an irregular object by water displacement. 1)Use a cylinder that is wide enough to take the solid object and fill it with water to an amount that will completely cover the object, but don't put the object in yet. 2) Measure and record the volume of the water. 3)Carefully place the object into the cylinder with the water. Measure and record the new volume in the cylinder. 4)Subtract the volume in Step 2 from the volume in Step 3, and the result is the volume of the irregular solid.
What is used to measure volume of solid?
If the solid is square or rectangular in shape, you can measure the three dimensions and multiply them to get volume in cubic units, such as cubic centimeters. If the solid is an irregular shape, you will need to use water displacement to measure the volume. To do this you place enough water in a graduated cylinder that will cover the solid. Then record the water volume. Next, carefully place the solid into the cylinder. Measure the new water volume. The volume of the solid is the second water volume minus the original water volume.
What is the process used to find the volume of an irregular solid?
There is no simple method. First of all the answer depends on the size of the solid. It is incredibly difficult to measure the volume of an irregular rock with a mass of several tons! If the solid is small then you can measure its volume by displacement. Partly fill a graduated cylinder with a fluid (water, for example) and read off the volume from the graduation. Insert the object into the cylinder and measure the new volume. The volume of the solid is the difference in the two volumes. Obviously, this method will not work if the solid contains parts which are soluble in the fluid.
How did you measure the volume of an irregular solid like the stone?
Place it in liquid and measure the amount it displaces. That is how Archimedes did it with the crown of the king.
What is the unit for irregular solid volume?
Irregular solid volume is still measured in cm3 etcTo Find the Volume of an irregular object you can,Measure out a proportional amount of water to the object you are finding the volume ofPut the object in the container of waterSee how much the water has risen byYou now have the volume!!(The difference between the new and old volumes of water is the volume
What instrument measures the volume of an irregular solid?
graduated cylindergraduated cylinderSubmerge your solid in a liquid the liquid volume displaced is equal to your irregular solid volume.
What are the steps you would use to find the volume of an irregular solid in an oveflow can?
Fill the can to the overflow level with water.Very gently lower the irregular solid into the can and make sure to catch all the overflow.Measure the volume of overflow.That is the same as the volume of the irregular solid.Warning! This method will be a total disaster if the solid is soluble in water. You could try any other liquid instead.
What tool to use to measure volume of an irregular solid?
To measure an irregular solid, we use the displacement method. This is when we immerse the object in water and see how much the water level rises (Make sure you have correct markings on your tool.)
What is the best way to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid?
The displacement method is best. If the object can be submersed in water, then do so in a graduated container. Measure the change in volume and you will have your answer.
