You need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula when the object is not a regular solid. It could be an object like a pen where the height, weight, and length can't be easily measured, or a liquid.
Using a graduated beaker, add water sufficent to totally immerse the object. Note the initial volume of the water without the object.
The formula for finding the volume of the square is....... nothing! Its nothing because squares are 2D and I guess you could probaly use area..... :)
(mass of object)/(volume of object) ≤ 1.225 kg/m3 (this is the approximate density of air at normal atmospheric conditions - your mileage may vary)
Density = mass of an object divided by the volume of that object. Its unit is mass per unit volume.
it is easier to see that when the volume of an object is so and so, it is this mass. because an object with more mass could have less volume than an object with larger volume.
"Amount" is one of those rubber words that can mean different things to different people. The 'amount' of matter in an object could be the object's mass, or it could be the object's volume.
The volume of an object cannot be stated or calculated based on only the mass of that object. Now, if you knew the densityof the material the object was made out of, or just what material itself was used to make it (so you could look up the density) you could then discover its volume. Otherwise, we're in the dark.
You will get the maximum volume in the case of a sphere. You can use the formula for the surface of a sphere to calculate the radius; from there, you can calculate the corresponding volume.Similarly, for other objects, such as a cube, the volume you get will be less.
Simply because the volume of water displaced is not equal to the actual volume of the object. If an object is lighter than water, you have to find another method of determining its volume. ------------------------------------ alternatively you could use a very thin pin to push the object under the water. However, the volume of the submerged portion of the pin would need to be suvtracted from the volume of the object measured.
One is the reciprocal of the other. It is more common to use "mass per volume", but in theory you could use either. If object "A" has more mass per volume than object "B", then object "B" will have more volume per mass than object "A".
