It depends on the system in which you are working, but the units will be the same as for a regular solid. In the International System of Units (SI units, for short), the unit for volume is m3.
You can still use liters if you want to, but cubic centimeters (cm3) are more common. However, 1cm3=1mL.
The units for volume are the same, whether the object is regular or irregular. For example, cubic meters, or liters.
Centimeters cubed
You can measure the volume of irregular solids by using water displacment which is meausured in mililiters (mL), and that, in turn, can be converted to cubic centimeters (cm3)
The unit for volume is the same, whether the shape is regular or irregular.
Liter for liquids or square meter for solids.
A basic unit of volume in the metric system is a liter. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. The most accurate tool used to measure volume is a graduated cylinder. Answer In SI, the unit of volume is the cubic metre. While the litre is a metric unit, it is NOT an SI unit.
The base unit of volume is liter. (L)My honors Physics teacher told us that the base unit of Volume is cubic meter (m3)literThe liter is a unit of volume, but it is only tolerated, it is not part of SI.The basic unit of volume in SI is the metric cube (m3).1 m3 = 1 000 L
SI unit of volume is cubic meter (m3). The solids whose volume can be calculated by measuring length, width, height, diameter etc. are called regular solids.
You can measure the volume of irregular solids by using water displacment which is meausured in mililiters (mL), and that, in turn, can be converted to cubic centimeters (cm3)
The unit cm3 stands for cubic centimeters. Cubic centimeters is a unit of measure for reporting the volume of regular and irregular solid objects. When reporting the volume of a liquid, milliliters (mL) is the proper unit.
Water displacement is used to find the volume of irregular solids as discovered by Archimedes
To measure what quantity of irregular solids? If its volume you are referring then you can use the volume displacement method where you need a measuring cylinder, water and possibly a displacement can.Measure a known quantity of water. Then immerse the irregular solid in this cylinder. The rise in the water level equals the volume of the irregular solid. Note that if the irregular object floats, a sinker must be used to fully immerse the irregular solid, where the volume of the sinker should be known.Hope this helps- if you need more information email me @ physicsisland@hotmail.com
you cut it into regular solids then figure out those then add them together
measure the volume of liquid that the object displaces
When you need to find volume of an irregular solid or a liquid.
cubic centimeter (also a unit for volume of solids)
The volumes of small irregular solids are usually easily measured by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when they are immersed in a liquid. For example: You would have to put the object in a measuring glass with water in it. (~1/3 filled) Put the object in it and then get the number from the measuring glass (beaker etc. mostly beaker) and that is how you measure a irregular solid!
Irregular solid volume is still measured in cm3 etcTo Find the Volume of an irregular object you can,Measure out a proportional amount of water to the object you are finding the volume ofPut the object in the container of waterSee how much the water has risen byYou now have the volume!!(The difference between the new and old volumes of water is the volume
The unit used to measure irregular volume is cubic centimeters (cm3). However, liters may be used - 1 cm3 is equal to 1 milliliter.
