How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
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 do you find the volume of an odd shaped object?
The best way to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object is to place it in a graduated cylinder full of water or some other liquid, and measure how much the level increased. Since one milliliter is equal to 1 cm3 you simply convert the amount displaced and you have the volume.
How the volume of a heavy irregularly shaped object may be determined experimentally are there any limitations?
Through displacement of another volume. For example, say you wish to measure the volume of an unknown object. Given a flask capable of measuring volume with reasonable precision, you could fill that flask with water up to a certain volume. Adding the unknown object and submerging it completely would "displace" the water, i.e. cause the water level in the flask to rise. According to the Archimedes Principle, the new volume on the flask subtracted by the old volume renders the total volume of the unknown.
How do you find the volume of a regular and irregular shaped object?
Fill the object with water and pour it out into a graduated cylinder. This will give you the volume of any shaped container. If you want to find its displacement the opposite is needed. A tank of water. The water line is marked. The object is submerged and eureka you mark how high the water goes. Remove the object and measure how much water you have to add to the tank to reach the new line. That would be the displacement of your object. It is about the same as its' internal volume.
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume 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 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.
What method of calculating volume would you use if the object is irregularly shaped?
Immerse the object completely in a liquid (e.g. water) and measure the volume of liquid displaced.
A technique used to calculate the volume of irregularly shaped solids?
To calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object, a good idea would be to get a bucket full of water and submerge that object into the bucket. Then measure the amount of water that runs over and that should be the volume of your object. For example if you take a sealed bottle of bottle stick it in a bucket filled with water, then let it's volume filll the space and displace the water. The water that is displaced or the water that runs out is the volume of your irregular shape. Get it?
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 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.
What piece of lab equipment would you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.
What tool is used to measure volume of an irregularly shaped object?
This would be called a graduated cillender. But the ccs vary in this tool...from 100 to 1000 * * * * * A graduated CYLINDER might be a better choice!
How do you measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
He saw that when he got in the bathtub the water moved out of the way to make room for his body. So if he put an object in a container filled with water that would answer his kings question.
How can you find the volume of a cube and of Irregularly shaped objects?
To find the volume of a cube, just measure one edge, and then take the third power of that number (which is to say, it gets multiplied by itself 3 times, so for an edge that it 2" long, you would have 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic inches). To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, you need a graduated cylinder. You immerse the object in water, and you observe how far the water level rises in the cylinder. If the object is soluble in water, you might use some other liquid such as cooking oil.
How would you find the volume of an irregularly shaped piece of clay?
Once easy way is displacement. You can place it in liquid and see how much liquid it displaces. This will be the volume.
