Why do you have to wet the stone before dropping it into the graduated cylinder?

If you were to drop a dry stone into a graduated cylinder it would pull a lot of air bubbles down with it (they stick to the surface, you should actually be able to see them) and that will give you an erroneous volume.

How do you find the volume of an irregular shaped object?
by using the water displacement method of Archimedes. For example,a stone's volume(an irregularly-shaped figure) can be measured by dropping it in a graduated cylinder with water(for example 20g water)...then the water will be displaced after you immersed the stone into it(it became 35g).the total displaced water(15g) will be the stone's volume.. this is the same with what happened to Archimedes when he was asked by a king to determine whether his crown was made of pure gold. for more info,just read some books..lol!
