Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
by measuring the object
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
Weigh the object. Determine the volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density. To get the volume of an irregular shaped object can be challenging especially if there are cavities (holes) in it. submersion in a liquid or powder of known volume might be possible. Measure the difference in the volume of the liquid and the liquid + the object (making sure the object is entirely below the surface of the liquid and that any cavities are filled).
Push it down, and measure how much water is displaced.
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
For an irregular shaped object that cannot be measured and then volume calculated with a formula.
There are several methods of measuring an irregular shape's volume.Filling it with a known volume of a substance until full.Summing up the Mathematical calculation of sections.
method usede to figure the volume of an irregular shaped object
If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced water.
by measuring the object
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
Make a mold of the object and then fill the mold with water and measure the volume of the water.
The volume of the object.
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
1. fill the container with water (make sure you write down what you filled it to) 2. Place object into the container 3. Calulate how much the water rose 4. Find the difference of the two numbers (that will be you volume of the irregular shaped object) 5. All finished!!!
It is a method called displacement. Displacement is a method that many scientists use. First you put a certain amount of water in a container (test tube, beaker). Second you Measure how many milliliters of water you put into it. Next you Add your irregular object into the water. Then you measure how many milliliters the water level rose. Then you subtract your second measurement with the irregular shaped object in it by your first measurement without the object in it and it will give you the volume of your irregular shape object.
