What tool do you use to measure an irregular object?
To measure the mass on an irregular object, you can use Water Displacement.Water displacement is a way of measuring mass. Materials needed for this are:A graduated cylinderWaterVariable (Irregular Object).Fill the graduated cylinder with a certain amount of water. Memorize it.Put the irregular object into the graduated cylinder. Find the mass by subtracting the first amount of water from the second. That's your mass.Hope this helps, and sorry if you didn't need all this information!
How is the density of a regularly shaped object determined by experiment?
If the shape of the object is regular (a cube or a sphere) then the volume can be calculated from the measurement of the object's key dimension(s). And the object's mass can be determined in a mass balance. Give the mass and volume the density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Where the object's shape is irregular, the volume may be determined by measuring the volume of a liquid displaced by submerging the object completely in that liquid.
What happens to the mass of the water in an irregular object?
Nothing
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
How do you find the mass of an object when you are given the volume and density of the object?
You can find the mass of the object by multiplying volume and density.
How do you find the mass of an irregular object immersed in water without using a weighing machine?
You cannot.

What is a mesuring cylinder for in science?
The use of measuring cylinder is to know the perfect mass of an irregular object and to find the volume of a liquid
How do you find the volume of an irregular shape in a graduated cylinder?
Find the density and mass of the object d=m/v and plug in your numbers and solve for volume

What method is used to find the density of an irregular shape object?
First 'weigh" the ojbect on a scale. this gives the mass. 2nd use the water displacement method to find the volume. Then divide Density = mass / volume.
Can you control or choose the mass of an object in an exeriment?
You can't change the mass of an object (unless you add something to it, or take something away). But you can choose an object of the desired mass to carry out the experiment.
What are the precautions for a density experiment?
Make sure that first you weigh the object and then find its volume because if you find the volume first the object will get wet and the mass of the object will not be accurate.When you are using the measuring cylinder to find the volume make sure you read at eye-level and at the bottom of the meniscus.Always take repeated readings when finding the mass.
How do you find the centre of mass of an irregular flat object?
Grab a pin, a pendulum (weight on the end of a piece of string), a ruler and pencil. Push the pin through the object and attache the pendulum to the pin. Make sure that the irregular object hangs freely on the pin. Allow pendulum and object to settle. Carefully mark where the pendulum crosses the bottom edge of your object, then join that mark with the original hole using a ruler. If you repeat this experiment the lines should all cross at the cengre of gravity because that will always come to rest under the pin. This assumes that the flatness is uniform.
