Drop the object into a graduated cylinder 50 mL half full of water and find the difference in volume. If it is too big for a measuring cylinder then make a small hole in the side of a plastic container, fill with water to this hole, drop the object in and collect the run off. Measure the volume of the run off.

How can you use the displacement of water to measure the volume of an object?
You fill up water ina beaker, measure the volume of the water as it originally was, then drop in an irregulary-shaped object, measure that volume, and subtrect the two. The difference is the volume of the object.
How can you find the volume of an irregulary shaped object?
If the body is a solid not soluble in water then we can keep it immersed in a measurable jar. Just noting down the level of water raised and getting the difference in the level with the initial one, we can get the volume of the irregular shaped object.
How can you use water diplacements to find the volume of an irregulary shaped object?
First you need to get a graduaded cylinder and then you need to fill it up enough to submerge the entire object then you drop the object into the water and you look how much the water level rised and that is the volume 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
How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object that sinks?
Measure the volume of the object which is same as the volume of the displaced liquid in which that sinks. And measure the mass of the same object from a weighing machine. then use density = mass/volume
What is an Eureca can device?
With an eureca can yiu can measure the volume of an unregular shaped object :)
Why would you measure volume by immersion?
For an irregular shaped object that cannot be measured and then volume calculated with a formula.
What is the formula for measuring the volume of a box-shaped object?
-- Measure length, width, and height. -- Multiply (length) times (width) times (height). -- The result is the volume of the box-shaped object.
How would you fond the volume of an irregular shaped object that floats?
If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced water.
What technique is best used to find the volume of an irregular-shaped object?
Make a mold of the object and then fill the mold with water and measure the volume of the water.
How do you find the volume of large irregular shape object?
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
How can you calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
If the object in question is water proof, and small enough. You can measure the amount of displaced water when it is placed in a tank full of water, this may not work for a lot of things but it can help when attempting to measure some objects.
