it depends how big we're talking

id say generally when i hit 100 of a unit i usually start using the next biggest one

e.g. 1-100cm, 1-100m, .1-100km

as long as the resultant measurement is easily understandable enough (like, if you say .000004km or 56,000cm people are going to have to convert in their heads) it should be ok

What piece or pieces of lab equipment would you use to measure the solid volume of an irregular object?

To measure the solid volume of an irregular object, you can use a graduated cylinder filled with water. By submerging the irregular object in the water, you can measure the change in water level, which corresponds to the object's volume. Alternatively, you could use a displacement method with a volumetric flask or a beaker, ensuring that the object is fully submerged for an accurate measurement.


What is the correct unit of measurement for a large solid object?

Firstly, it depends what you are measuring, and second it depends what you mean by large! If you wanted the volume of a packing crate you could use cubic metres. (Or cubic yards or feet in Imperial.) For the volume of a planet, cubic miles or kilometres would be more sensible. If you wanted the mass you could use kilograms or tonnes (or tons).
