Yes you can.You can measure the solid by putting it into a gradruated cylinder.The height of the water shows you how much volume the solid has. fun is at www.qyue.webs.com
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
To measure the density of an irregularly shaped solid using water displacement, you can submerge the solid in a known volume of water and measure the volume of water displaced. Then, divide the mass of the solid by the volume of water displaced to find the density. Since the solid may not displace water as neatly as a regular shape, it's important to take accurate measurements and ensure the solid is fully submerged.
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.
Scientists often use a device called a balance or scale to measure the mass of an irregularly shaped solid. This involves first weighing the solid in air, then submerging it in a liquid of known density to measure the displaced volume, and finally calculating the mass using Archimedes' principle.
Measure the volume of the water you have. Insert irregular solid. Measure the volume of the water you have now, and subtract the initial water volume from the new water volume. The difference in volumes is the volume of your irregular solid.
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
well, for an irregularly shaped object it is a eureka can or a graduated cylinder, but for a regularly shaped object it is a simple formula: Length*Width*Height. I am 10 years old and learned that in science class.
When you are trying to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
use Archimedis' law- take a known volume of water in a vessel filled upto the brim and immerse the object that you want to measure the volume inside the vessel without giving any pressure and measure the volume of the water overflowed. that will give you the volume of the object(an approximate value)
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Solid.
The solid phase of matter has a definite volume and shape. Gas form has neither volume, nor shape, and liquid form has volume, but conforms to the shape of the container it is put in.
