You can push it under water / under the liquid's surface, and measure the displacement of liquid.

What method should you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Google "Archimedes' Principle" and see if that gives you a clue...
Is there a more systematic way of finding the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object?
Finding the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object can be done using the plumb line method.
How do you use the displacement method to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Half fill a graduated glass beaker with water and note the level. Place irregularly shaped object into the beaker. Note the new level. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the object. cw: OK, that method works for objects that don't get wet -- like steel. Tissue paper would not be a good candidate. Also, if the object floats, you have to submerge the object.
What is the name of the method by which the volume of an irregularly shaped object is found?
the water displacement method
What piece of lab equipment would you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.
What is formula for calculating an object's density?
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
A rocky object that has an irregularly shaped body made of planetary material and orbits the Sun is a?
Asteroid
How can you determine the identity of an irregularly shaped solid that is soluble to water?
you would use the water displacement theory
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.
To wrap text around an irregularly shaped object which text wrap format should be used?
Tight
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a rectangular object as well as an irregularly shaped object?
Yes. It doesnt have to be a irregular even though sometimes it is easier just to do the math... for a rectangular object. l x w x h= volume
