Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
Yes, a solid does not occupy less sapce when it is pressed or squeezed. It cannot be compressed. The volume of a solid does not change. A solid has a fixed or definite volume.
The volume of a solid depends on the temperature.
It has a fixed shape and volume
Yes you can.You can measure the solid by putting it into a gradruated cylinder.The height of the water shows you how much volume the solid has. fun is at www.qyue.webs.com
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
Yes. A definite shape - which implies a definite volume - is one of the basic properties of a solid.
you multiply the length times width times height and you should get the volume. If the solid is of uneven shape, immerse it in the known volume of water and note the increase in volume of water due to inclusion of solid. This extra volume of water created by displacement is the volume of that solid.
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.
The volume of the solid remains the same.
any solid has both shape and volume
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
