You need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula when the object is not a regular solid. It could be an object like a pen where the height, weight, and length can't be easily measured, or a liquid.

How do you find displacement?

Displacement= Volume x Density for example to find the displacement of a ship you would do this formula: underwater volume(m3) x density(t/m3) so if you are a deck cadet like me this is the formula you would use to find the displacement of a ship in the first ship stability test! THIS IS WRONG! THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISPLACEMENT FOR-INSTANCE THOSE USED IN PHYSICS ALL HAVE DIFFERENT FORMULE
