You need to find the displacement, easiest way for irregular objects is water displacement. If it can fit in a graduated cylinder use that and find out how much water is displaced when the object is submerged. Then weigh it and divide the weight by the volume. Your unit will be whatever units you weighed it in, say grams, per whatever unit you measured displacement in, say cm.

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 lab equipment is needed to find the density of an irregular shaped object?
A measuring cup or graduated cylinderWater or other liquid to place the solid in
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 do you find density of an irregular shape?
Measure the displacement of water when the object is submerged in water. This gives the volume ; then weigh the object and divide the weight by the volume to get the density.
What is a way in which the volume of an irregular shaped object can be measured?
you put the shape into sections and find there volumes and add your answers together

How do you figure out density of an irregular shaped object such as a key?
density is mass per volume. First weigh (mass) the key, then to find it's volume, place it into a container with liquid and measure how much volume is displaced.

What is the name for the method of using the displacements of water to find the volume of a strange shaped object?
Displacement method.... Is the method to find volume of an irregular object
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.
What is the calculus formula to find the density of an irregular shaped object?
There is no general formula. Many times an object can be looked at as the sum of smaller parts for which a formula is known. Ultimately all shapes can be reduced to small polyhedrons and then summed.
