The volume of an irregular object is different from that of a regular object because irregular objects do not have a consistent shape like regular objects. Regular objects have known formulas for calculating volume (e.g., cubes, cylinders), while irregular objects require more complex methods such as displacement or computer simulations to determine their volume.
Volume of irregular or regular shape object is the space reserved by the object in any medium.
The method for determining the volume of a solid depends on its shape. The volume of a solid object with a regular geometric shape (rectangular box, cube, cylinder, sphere) can be determined using the volume formula for the shape. Because many objects are not regularly shaped their volume cannot be determined using a volume formula. The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read. The object is added to the cylinder and the volume read again. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the object.
There is insufficient information for us to answer this question. Density = Mass / Volume. For a regular shape, the volume can be determined from a formula - which will depend on the shape. However, you still require the mass for which there is no information.
You decide what shape to use, and look up the formula in a list of formulae.
Determine its mass on a balance. Determine its volume using water displacement. Divide the mass by the volume.
Determine its mass on a balance. Determine its volume using water displacement. Divide the mass by the volume.
Well to find the volume it is the shape's length x height x width. If that is what you are looking for.
If its regular (geometric shaped) you could just measure it with a ruler using the formula for the shape in question. Irregular shaped objects can be submerged in water. The difference in the water level before and after submersion equals the volume of the object.length X width X height
Rectangles, being two-dimensional objects, do not have volume. Rectangular prisms, on the other hand, do. The equation for their volume is length*width*height, or lwh.
You look up the formula for the regular shape in a table of formulae, then apply such a formula. For example, if the regular shape is a rectangular block, you multiply length x width x height, if it is a cone you calculate (1/3)Bh (1/3 times the base area times the height), etc.
The science tool used to measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects is called a graduated cylinder or a displacement vessel. By submerging the object in water, the volume of water displaced by the object can be measured, which corresponds to the object's volume. This method is based on Archimedes' principle and is effective for objects that do not have a regular shape.
