Fill a cylindrical pool (a pool with vertical sides) with water and measure the level of water in it. Sumberge the human body and measure the level of water.
Volume of body = increase in volume in pool
= area of cross section of pool * increase in height of water.
The pool need not be cylindrical, but being so makes the calculations simpler.

∙ 13y agoHave a tank of water just a bit bigger than the person. Mark the level of the water. Have the person hold their breath, and duck under the water. The water level will rise, because they displace water with the volume of their body. Mark the water level while they are submerged. The difference in water volume between no person, and submerged oerson will be the volume of that person.
