Water displacement is used for determining the volume of irregularly shaped objects.It was discovered by Sir Isaac newton.He discovered it when he was in his bath tub.
Edit: While it is true that a scientist discovered the principle of liquid displacement while climbing into a bathtub, it was Archimedes, not Sir Isaac Newton.
1. density of object should be greater than that of water 2. object shouldn't react or disolve in water
yes you can. for instance light a lighter under water so the gas is collected in a 250ml beaker that started full. If 100ml of water is displaced than that is your volume of the gas.
I believe it is a correct way since after all the volume is what can fit inside of it. You would have to of course separately calculate and add the volume of the walls the make up the object.
The volume of the metal cylinder is 21.4mL - 15mL = 6.4mL. This is the water displacement method for determining the volume of an irregular solid.
Place the piece of metal in 50mL of water and subtract the 50mL from the new volume of water. The difference will be the volume of the metal in mL and cm3. Then find the density by dividing the mass by the volume of the metal. The water must completely cover the metal in order for the displacement method of determining the volume to work.
You divide the mass by density
The drops of water could potentially add to the volume of an object, affecting the position of the meniscus. This will essentially give one inaccurate results when measuring volume.
When objects cannot be easily measured with a ruler water displacement is used to measure the objects volume. Water displacement measures the amount of water that is displaced, or moved. The amount that the waster rises is mL indicates the volume of the object in Cm3
Displacement method.... Is the method to find volume of an irregular object
The volume of the metal cylinder is 21.4mL - 15mL = 6.4mL. This is the water displacement method for determining the volume of an irregular solid.
Water displacement is a method to measure volume
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
Place the piece of metal in 50mL of water and subtract the 50mL from the new volume of water. The difference will be the volume of the metal in mL and cm3. Then find the density by dividing the mass by the volume of the metal. The water must completely cover the metal in order for the displacement method of determining the volume to work.

The Liquid Displacement Method involves putting an object into a container filled with water. A measurement is then taken of how much volume of water has been displaced. This measurement can then be used to calculate the volume of the object displacing the water.
