You'd use a "Eureka can!"
If you fill a cup or special container completely full and submerge the object you want to measure in the water then water will be displaced by the object. If you collect the water and measure it in a measuring cylinder then you will have the volume of water displaced, which will be exactly the volume of the object.
The "Eureka can!" is named because of Archimedes discovery or displacement and density which allegedly caused him to run naked down the street shouting "Eureka" in celebration.

How do you measure the density of a metal?
-- Get a pure piece of it. The size of the piece doesn't matter. -- Measure the mass of the piece. -- Measure the volume of the piece. -- The density of the substance is mass of the piece/volume of the piece.
What lab equipment would you need to measure the density of a piece of metal?
To obtain the density you need to know the mass, and the volume of the object.So you'd have to weigh it using a balance to obtain the mass.The easiest way to measure the volume (particularly if it's an irregular shape) would be via the displacement of water.density = mass / volume
What physical property of matter can you measure with milliliters?
Millilitres can measure an amount of liquid, or the volume of a container, or the volume of a piece of space.
What piece of science equipment do you use to measure linear volume?
no
What experimental method can determine the density of metal?
Density is the mass of the object divided by its volume. By this principle, to determine the density of a metal, place the metal onto a scale to measure its mass. After this, place the metal into a beaker of water and measure the volume change in the beaker. Divide the mass by the volume and you get the density.
What is the density of a piece of metal that has a volume of 10cm3 and a mass of 500g?
Volume = mass/volume = 500g/10cm3 = 50g/cm3
Which piece of lab euipment do you use to measure volume?
The answer is a graduated cylinder.
how can you measure the volume of a piece of sugar by gaduated cylinder?
I don't now
How much does a piece of metal weigh?
That would vary greatly depending on the type and density of the metal, along with the dimensions of the particular piece. The weight of a piece of anything is the volume times the density.
How do you measure the density of a material?
-- Get a piece of the material. It doesn't matter what size it is. -- Measure the mass of the sample. -- Measure the volume of the sample. -- Divide the mass by the volume. The result is the density of the material.
A piece of metal was gently lowered into a measuring cylinder containing water.The level of water was at 20 cubic metre mark, what is the volume of metal?
The volume of the metal can be calculated by measuring the volume of water displaced after the metal was placed in the cylinder. If the water level rose to the 25 cubic meter mark after the metal was added, then the volume of the metal is 5 cubic meters.
What is the density of a piece of metal that has a mass of 68g and a volume of 6 cm3?
The density of the metal is 11.33 g/cm3. This is calculated by dividing the mass (68g) by the volume (6 cm3).
