How do you find the volume of large irregular shape object?
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
What are the units for density for a irregulary shaped object?
The units are the same for any object (for example, kilogram/m3). What changes is the methods you can use to measure it.
What do you use to measure solids?
To measure the volume of a regular shaped solid object use l x w x h or water displacement. The mass can be found using a Triple Beam Balance.
What is a displacement can use for?
Weighing awkward shaped things
How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object?
You need to find the displacement, easiest way for irregular objects is water displacement. If it can fit in a graduated cylinder use that and find out how much water is displaced when the object is submerged. Then weigh it and divide the weight by the volume. Your unit will be whatever units you weighed it in, say grams, per whatever unit you measured displacement in, say cm.
How can you use the displacement of water to measure the volume of an object?
You fill up water ina beaker, measure the volume of the water as it originally was, then drop in an irregulary-shaped object, measure that volume, and subtrect the two. The difference is the volume of the object.

What are the units for density on an irregulary shaped object?
The same units are used for regular or irregular objects - for example, kilogram per cubic meter.

Why do you use the displacement method of irregular method shaped objects?
Become asian then you will know
How do you measure an irregular shaped object?
Use the water displacement method. The object is equal to the amount of water it displaces. :)
What is an instrument used to measure volume of liquids and irregularly shaped objects?
graduated cylinder
What is an easy way to measure the volume of am oddly shaped solid object?
Submerge it in water and measure how much the water rises.
How do you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object that floats?
You can push it under water / under the liquid's surface, and measure the displacement of liquid.
Which instrument could be used to determine the volume of an irregulary shaped soild?
A graduated cylinder may be used for small objects that are insoluble in a selected liquid. But that method would not work for determining the volume of a sugar cube (soluble in water) or a motor car (won't fit in a graduated cylinder!).
