You use the "density heart", which is the following equation:
M = D (Mass over volume equals density.)
V
The displacement of water is used to determine volume of irregular solids.
Pour some measured amount of liquid into a container (any amount, but be sure to measure it) then add the object and measure again. By subtracting the old measurement from the new one, you get the volume that you need to plug into the equation.
However, to find density you also have to find mass, which can be found using a tri-beam balance or some such device.

How do you measure the density of an irregular object like a ball?
You need to do the water displacement method. The water displacement needs a graduated cylinder and water.
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.
Calculate the water displace in water?
The water displacement in water can be calculated using Archimedes' principle. It states that the buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. So, to calculate water displacement, you would need to determine the weight of the object and divide it by the density of water (which is approximately 1000 kg/m^3).
What is the tool used to find the density of a liquid?
Hydrometer is used in batteries to measure density. A float tells you the density using displacement.
How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object?
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 could you determine the density of a king's crown?
water displacement
How do you measure density of bowling ball?
Float the ball in water and calculate the displacement.
What property of matter is illustr ated when the volume of the stone is measured be water displacement?
density
Why methane is collected by downward displacement?
Methane is not soluble in water and the density is also lower.
How do you find density of 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.
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.
Which is more accurate to measure density Archimedes principle or water displacement method?
They are both the same. displacement method is another name for Archimedes' principle
How do you find the density of a key?
fill a graduated cylinder half way up. then drop it in. see how much the water has rose. this is your density. this is also called water displacement
If the mass of an object cant be changed how do you increase the displacement of water?
change the density by altering the shape.
How would you determine the density of 10 grams of granular zinc?
using water displacement because it doesnt float on water and it doesnt dissolve in water
How can you find the density of a rock or key?
Find the mass using a scale. Find the volume by the water displacement method. Divide mass by volume and that equals density.
