Archimedes discovered the law of hydrostatic displacement.
Supposedly, in trying to determine how to find the density of the ruler's crown, he was perplexed by the problem. He decided one night to take a bath and, while sitting down in the bath water, he noticed that the water level went up.
From this, he realized that the amount of water displaced was equal to the volume of his body immersed in the water.
From mass and volume, density can be determined, and he could differentiate between different metals due to densities.
He discovered volume of water and other liquids
For finding the volume of an object by immersing into water and noticing that the water displaced was equal to the volume of the object.
Archimedes' principle is used. Water will be displaced by the volume of what is put into it. That displaced volume can be measured giving the weight.
i dont know the instrument but i know experiment ..... take volumetric flask full with water insert subject below water level the displacement of level in volume is the volume of that subject.... By Archimedes principle
Archimedes principle states that the volume water displaced is equal to your weight; for a small total volume of water it will overflow; but in a lake where the total volume is huge the volume displaced by your weight is spread out over such a large volume you cannot notice the change
The water overflowed when Archimedes jumped in and he knew that there is a relationship between his weight and the volume of the water
Legend says that Archimedes discovered the principle of displacement while stepping into a full bath. He realized that the water that ran over equaled in volume the submerged part of his body. Through further experiments, he deduced the above mentioned Archimedes' principle.
Archimedes took a bowl full of water of known volume and then dipped the irregular shape body. Amount of water fall down is measured and is the volume of that body.

When a body or object is immersed in water that its volume is equal to the water displaced.
Greek scholar Archimedes
I think it is the volume displacement. When you put an object into a container with a known volume of water, the water will rise, and that change of volume is the volume of the object you introduced into the container.
Archimedes discovered volume displacement when he was in the bath tub because the weight of an object makes the water rise.But the volume of the water was constant.He then ran outside on the streets screaming,EUREKA!...naked
When an object is immersed in water the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of that object as discovered by Archimedes.
Archimedes, a Greek mathematician, physicist, and engineer, is known for discovering principles of buoyancy and developing methods for calculating the volume of irregular shapes. He is also credited with inventing machines such as the screw pump and the compound pulley system.
