How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
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.
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.
What do you call the procedure that helps you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using a graduated cylinder?
It is the displacement method.
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.
How would you find the density of an irregularly shaped object such as a rock?
Weight it. Find it's volume. (hint - how much water does it displace). Divide.
How could you use a fish tank to find of 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.
How do you use the displacement method to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Half fill a graduated glass beaker with water and note the level. Place irregularly shaped object into the beaker. Note the new level. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the object. cw: OK, that method works for objects that don't get wet -- like steel. Tissue paper would not be a good candidate. Also, if the object floats, you have to submerge the object.
What are helpful hints for finding the volume of irregularly shaped objects?
break it up into pieces you know how to find the volume of
What is volume displacement?
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. The difference between the before and after levels of the liquid is the volume of an immersed object.
How you find the volume of an irregularly shaped of aluminum?
The easiest way is to place the object in a graduated beaker of water, and see how much the water rises when you put it in. Archimedes Principle says that the volume of the object is the same as the water displaced from the beaker.
What method you would find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Depending on the size of the object this can be difficult. Use a large volumetric beaker, fill with a certain volume of water. Place the object into the water so that it is totally submerged. The displacement of water caused by the object will give you a new volume of water within the container. The difference in volumes give you the volume of your object.
