Pour some water into a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder,measure how much water you have poured into your container.After you have done this,drop the object into your container and see how much water it has displaced.Then subtract the original amount of water from the amount of water displaced and your answer should be the volume of the object(This procedure is called Water Displacement,sort of obviously).

How do you calculate the density of a polyurethane foam?
Density is weight divided by volume. Measure the weight (with a scale), calculate the volume (which is easy to do if the foam is rectangular in shape - you might even want to cut out a rectangular piece, if your foam has an irregular shape), and divide the weight by the volume.
How to get the volume of an irregularly shape or solid?
Measure the volume of the water you have. Insert irregular solid. Measure the volume of the water you have now, and subtract the initial water volume from the new water volume. The difference in volumes is the volume of your irregular solid.
What is a matter has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape?
Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape. You can measure the volume easily by pouring a liquid into a graduated container. But as for its shape, it simply adopts the shape of whatever you pour it into.
What is the formula for the density of a irregular shaped object?
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)regardless of the substance, or the shape of the sample.
Why amoeba has irregular shape?
Amoeba is irregular in shape because it has no bones
How would you measure the volume of an object with a irregular shape?
Displacement
When did Archimedes find out how to measure volume of an irregular shape?
215bc
How do you find the volume of large irregular shape object?
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
How do you calculate the density of a polyurethane foam?
Density is weight divided by volume. Measure the weight (with a scale), calculate the volume (which is easy to do if the foam is rectangular in shape - you might even want to cut out a rectangular piece, if your foam has an irregular shape), and divide the weight by the volume.
How do you calculate the volume of an irregular shape?
use calculus and integrate or fill it with water and measure.
Why can't you use a ruler to measure the volume of an irregular object?
because the shape has no correct sides.
How do you measure or calculate the perimeter of a shape?
If the shape is a regular polygon or curve there are formula for each shape. If the shape is irregular you will have to measure each piece of the shape's edge and sum all the pieces together.
Definition of irregular volume?
An irregular volume is something and anything that no one can actually measure. An example of this is a cylinder with a cone as its end; a complex equation is needed just to describe the shape that it has.
What is the name of the process used to measure the volume of an irregular shaped object?
There are several methods of measuring an irregular shape's volume.Filling it with a known volume of a substance until full.Summing up the Mathematical calculation of sections.
What is the volume of irregular shape objects?
Volume of irregular or regular shape object is the space reserved by the object in any medium.
What lab equipment would you need to measure the density of a piece of metal?
To obtain the density you need to know the mass, and the volume of the object.So you'd have to weigh it using a balance to obtain the mass.The easiest way to measure the volume (particularly if it's an irregular shape) would be via the displacement of water.density = mass / volume
What is irregular volume?
The unit used to measure irregular volume is cubic centimeters (cm3). However, liters may be used - 1 cm3 is equal to 1 milliliter.
