A technique used to calculate the volume of irregularly shaped solids?

To calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object, a good idea would be to get a bucket full of water and submerge that object into the bucket. Then measure the amount of water that runs over and that should be the volume of your object.
For example if you take a sealed bottle of bottle stick it in a bucket filled with water, then let it's volume filll the space and displace the water. The water that is displaced or the water that runs out is the volume of your irregular shape. Get it?

Measuring the volume of liquids through eureka can method?
I don't see why measuring the volume of liquids using the Eureka can method. It is an indirect measure -- you displace water or some other fluid to measure a liquid? A direct tool, such as measuring beakers or cylinders with markings, is inexpensive and can measure volume adequately. Eureka cans are more for measuring the volume of solids, especially irregularly-shaped ones. ===================================
What does a pencil a cube of sugar and a metal coin all have in common in science?
They are solids, and they are natural materials shaped by humans.
How can you separate solids that do not dissolve?
If the solids can be made to form a suspension in a liquid, they can be separated in a centrifuge. Another technique, used in mineral analysis, is to float off the material in a dense liquid, such as Sodium polytungstate or similar. And with a powdered material, shaking tables are much used in industry.
What is the best way to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid?
You can read the measurements wrongly depending on the type of liquid used to measure the volume for irregularly shaped objects. You should determine whether the liquid used forms an upper or lower meniscus. For regularly shaped objects, errors occur when you read the units are rounded off.
Define amorphous solid?
Generally they are two types of solids 1. Crystalline solids 2. Amorphous solids. Amorphous solids are those solids which having different properties in different directions. They didnt have sharp melting and boiling points.
What is a method for finding the volume of irregularly shaped solids?
Use a measuring cylinder with water in it. Note down the volume of water in the cylinder, then add the solid. Note down the new volume and subtract the first value from the second to get the volume of the solid.
What solids have the shape of a sphere?
A ball and a globe are two objects that are sphere shaped.
What is the formula to calculate pressure in solids?
pressure is calculated in solids by using these formulae which is proposed gopi force / area
Why is crystallisation technique considered better than simple 2 evaporation to purify solids?
because if you evaporate it the solids won't crystallise but will turn into a powder instead
Why do liquids flow easily while solids do not?
The particles in quids are more malleable/ easily shaped, since they aren't as close together as particles in solids.
Why do crystalline solids shatter into regularly shaped fragments when broken?
Because crystaline solids' atoms are linked by ionic bonding that gives regular geometric structure.
The particles in most solids form structural units called?
The particles in most solids from structural units called crystals. Crystals are a solid substance that have a geometrically shaped form.

Why are sewers egg-shaped?
Sewers are egg-shaped because that shape ensures that they are narrower at the bottom. This shape causes water near the bottom to flow faster, reducing the likelihood of solids being deposited. If solids were deposited, the sewer would eventually silt up and become blocked.
What will be used to determine th volume of irregularly shaped solids?
Eureka! Archimedes may have the answer. Sink your solid in a measuring cylinder,or the equivalent, and measure the volume of the displacement. Archimedes indeed discovered the practical solution. The formulas for almost all theoretical solids were figured out by the time of Johan Kepler. It was Isaac Newton and/or Goffreid Leibnetz that finally came up with integral calculus that takes care of absolutely everything.
