The water level of the container will rise, and the total volume increases. But the volume of the water itself remains the same.
Not the volume is important but the area exposed to evaporation.
When water freezes it increases in volume by %6. That pressure can destroy its' container.
It has a definite volume but no definite shape it change based on the container it's in.
Fill a beaker or measuring cylinder with water and record the volume of water indicated. Put the rock in the beaker/measuring cylinder and record the new volume of water indicated. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the rock.
The easy way: Pour the water into a graduated container, like a graduated cylinder, and read the volume directly. The hard way: Calculate the volume of a regularly shaped container (cylindrical or rectangular). Pour the water into the container. Measure the height of the water in the container. Calculate the volume of the unfilled portion of the container. Subtract this volume from the total volume of the container.
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.
volume of a rectangle container is 2520 cubic centimetres volume of water in millilitres is 2520000
Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.
Put the object in a measuring container; pour in water to cover the object and measure the volume in the container; take the object out of container and measure the volume remaining. The difference is the volume of the object. If the object floats push it down until covered with water.

An easy and low tech way to find the volume of an object is to measure the volume of water it displaces. Fill a container that has lines for measuring volume on it with enough water to fully submerge the object whose volume you will measure, but don't fill it all the way to the top. Write down the amount of water you start with, let's say 1 liter. Now put the object you want to measure into the water carefully so that you don't splash any water out and make sure that it is fully submerged. Now write down the new volume of water in the container, let's say it now reads 2.5 liters. Subtract the original volume from the new volume to find the volume of your object: 2.5L - 1L = 1.5 liters. Another way to find the volume of an object fill a container with water to the very top of the container. Place that container of water into an empty larger container. Put the object that you want to measure into the container of water slowly so that you don't spill any more water than the object pushes out on its own. When the object is fully submerged, it should have pushed out some water into the larger container. To ensure accuracy, the level of water in the water filled container that now also contains the object to be measured should still be at the very top of the container. Carefully remove the water/object filled container from the larger container so as to not spill any more water. Carefully pour the overflowed water into a smaller measuring vessel to find the volume of your object.
The volume of an object can be determined by the displacement of water. By dropping the object into a measuring container of water, where the volume of the water is known, the object's volume can then be calculated by subtracting the volume of the water by the volume of the water and object combined.
No, the water displaces the air if the container is open.
Immerse the object in water and measure the volume of water that is displaced. One way would be to fill a container, large enough to hold the object, with water until it is just about to overflow. The container and water would need to be inside another container that could capture the displaced water. Submerge the object in the water and then measure the volume (or weight) of the water that overflows
reduce the volume of the container by compressing or crushing!
