By using water, a scale, and a container, one can completely fill the container and weigh it, fully submerge the item, remove it and weigh the container with the fluid remaining, the difference in weight in grams of the water is the same as the objects volume in cubic centimeters.

How do you measure an irregularly shaped object?
Do you mean volume? If possible drop the item in a measured volume of water or other liquid and remeasure the volume, then subract the to numbers to get the volume of the item.
When is displacement used?
It is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. An object dropped into a volume of water will displace an equal volume of water.
How can you calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
If the object in question is water proof, and small enough. You can measure the amount of displaced water when it is placed in a tank full of water, this may not work for a lot of things but it can help when attempting to measure some objects.
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
How do you get the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Using a graduated beaker, add water sufficent to totally immerse the object. Note the initial volume of the water without the object. Put the irregularly-shaped object in the beaker and note the final volume. The difference between the final and initial readings is the volume of the object. This is only possible if the object is not soluble in water. If it is, use some other fluid in which it is not soluble.
How is the volume of an irregularly shaped solid measured?
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.

What is the name of the method by which the volume of an irregularly shaped object is found?
the water displacement method
Finding the volume of a solid when would water displacement be helpful?
When you are trying to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
How do you describe the procedure for determining the volume of an irregularly shaped object when using water and a graduated cylinder?
Volume displacement.
How wold you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Take an amount of water of which you know the volume. Drop the object in the water. Find the difference
When finding the volume of an irregularly shaped object using water displacement and when you start the cylinder reads 42mL and then the object goes in and it reads 49mL what is the volume?
The volume of the object is 7ml.

What is formula for calculating an object's density?
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
