First, if it happened to be a floating soap, it would have to be forced down to displace its full volume of water. Otherwise, it would only displace its own weight of water. Whatever tool was used to force it down also would have volume, and its volume would have to be subtracted from the volume of water displaced.

Second, since soaps are made so that they break down in the presence of water, part of its volume would be lost to the water and would have to be accounted for: both the portion that remained in the water container (no problem), and more problematic, the portion that flowed out.

How do you find the volume of sugar?

You can use displacement of water but you'll have to do it quickly before the sugar dissolves. You can also find a substance that sugar does not dissolve in and use that instead of water. If you change its state of matter, the volume might change.

How archimdes might have measured the volume of the crown?

Archimedes likely measured the volume of the crown by placing it in a container of water and measuring the water level before and after submerging the crown. By comparing the water displacement, he could determine the volume of the crown. This method utilizes the principle that the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object.
