In order to measure volume, one normally sees how much water it displaces.
If the body floats, the water displaced will be equal to the weight of the body, not the volume. It will be necessary to force the body down so that it is totally submerged. If there is an anchor and chain below the surface, the water displaced when the body is attached and submerged will have the same volume as the body.

Is a body totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water less than its volume?
A body which is totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water equal to the volume of the body.
If you weighed 200 pounds what would your weight be in pints?
That isn't a matching conversion. Pints are a measure of liquid volume. Pounds is a measure of weight/mass. They don't convert directly because of density. If you weighed the same as water, you would be 200 pints. But the human body is lighter than water, so it would be more, say 220 pints.
Meaning of definition of volume and mass?
Volume is the size of a solid and mass is the quantitative measure of inertia, or the resistance of a body to a change in motion.
When a body is dipped into water it displaced 20 ml of water than the volume of the body is how much?
20 cu cm
What do you use to measure your mass?
I think it is used a massmeter. Instead, you can enter in a tank full of water, get out of the tank and measure the water left in it. Eureka ! +++ That tangle refers to measuring the volume of a body - a human one here, it seems - by displacement, not mass. You measure mass with a "balance" or "scales".
What is the formula to get the volume of odd shape materials?
put it in a glass baker filled with amount of water enough to cover the body measure the amount of the water before and after you put the body the difference is the volume of the body
Would you weigh lighter or heavier in water?
You would feel lighter since your body pushes aside a certain volume of water. Weigh this water and this value is taken from you weight whilst floating in water giving you an upthrust. This is Archimedes Principle.
How could you find the volume of a person?
Fill a cylindrical pool (a pool with vertical sides) with water and measure the level of water in it. Sumberge the human body and measure the level of water. Volume of body = increase in volume in pool = area of cross section of pool * increase in height of water. The pool need not be cylindrical, but being so makes the calculations simpler.
When body is immersed in water then water equal to the volume explain this?
The water displaced by the body is equal to its volume.
How do you calculate the volume of a human body?
You could use Archimedes Principal. Fill a container (a bath, or tank) with enough water to cover the body, and measure the volume of water. Then, get the person to lie down fully in the water, and measure the level of the water again and calculate the new volume as if the tank held only water.. The difference in volume between the two measurement is the volume of the person's body. Another way to use the displacement method would be, if you can be sure to catch all the overflow, fill the cntainer to the top. get the person climb in and lie down and measure how much spills over the top... this works best if there is a spout at the side and you can fill the container up to the level of the spout.
How can the density of a body lighter than water be determained?
If a object with little volume floats on water its density is less than water.But should consider to avoid effects of surface tension
Is a body totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water less than its volume?
A body which is totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water equal to the volume of the body.
How can a human measure his own volume?
One way is through displacement.If you had a large tank which you knew the volume of, and filled it partially with water, measured the water level, and then got in, remeasured the water level when you were completely submerged, and then calculated the difference, that would give you the volume of your body.
How do you measure the volume of a body?
very carefully and with care
What refers to the measure of space occupied by a body?
Volume
What unit of measure would you use to measure the water in a bath?
1. Fill bath half way 2. Mark the level of the water with a marker pen (line A) 3. Get into the bath 4. Completely submerge yourself into the water, get someone to mark the level of the water with you still completely submerged (line B) 5. Get out of the bath 6. The water level should have gone down back to line A 7. Using a mesuring jug, fill the bath until it has reached line B.. keeping count of the amount of water you've added. 8. The amount of water you added is your body volume :)
How would you find the density of your body?
i heard that you measure your mass and your volume and there you go! mass divide volume.
