How do you measure a 3-d box shaped solid?
Area
How to calculate density weight for aluminum?
Get a sample of the metal. Use a scale to find its mass. If it is shape is that of a rectangular solid (box) measure length, width, and height and multiply to find volume. If it is irregularly shaped, use the water displacement method to find its volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
How do you find the volume of an irregular solid like an watch?
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid such as a watch is found by immersing that solid in water inside a graduated cylinder. You can then simply read the change in water level off the markings on the cylinder. Of course, if your watch is not water proof, this may not be such a good idea.
How do you we measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
Scientists used radioactive decay to measure what?
amount if living organism that is expected to radioactive isotope.
Can you use a balance to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid?
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
How is the volume of an irregularly shaped solid measured?
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 can that use to measure the volume of solid?
well, for an irregularly shaped object it is a eureka can or a graduated cylinder, but for a regularly shaped object it is a simple formula: Length*Width*Height. I am 10 years old and learned that in science class.
What principle is involved in the determination of the volume of an irregularly shaped water insoluble solid?
This is the Archimedes principle.
How can you determine the identity of an irregularly shaped solid that is soluble to water?
you would use the water displacement theory
Finding the volume of a solid when would water displacement be helpful?
When you are trying to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
How can you measure the volume of an irregularly shape solid?
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
How do you measure a irregular shaped solid like a cube?
A cube is hardly an irregularly shaped object. Measuring it is the defining term of area and volume. A cube is defined as having twelve sides, all lengths uniform, all angles right angles. If the length of any side is 'a' then area = 6*a*a volume = a*a*a
How do you measure a 3-d box shaped solid?
Area
What do scientists use to measure when liquid turns to a solid?
a thermometer
How the volume of an irregullar solid can be determined?
By water displacement. Pour a certain volume of water into a graduated cylinder, and record that volume. Now, place the irregularly shaped object into the cylinder, and record the level to which the water now rises. Take the difference between those two volumes, and you now have the volume of your irregularly shaped object.
What is the best way to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid is to use?
use Archimedis' law- take a known volume of water in a vessel filled upto the brim and immerse the object that you want to measure the volume inside the vessel without giving any pressure and measure the volume of the water overflowed. that will give you the volume of the object(an approximate value)
