You can measure the volume by filling a container (the best option would be an accurate measuring cilinder) with water. Note how much water is in the container, now immerse the object you want to measure in the water and once more note how much water is in the container. The difference between your second measurement and the first is the total volume of the object.

Another way would be to weigh the object and then calculate its volume via its density

Density=mass/volume so volume=mass/density. This method only works if your know the density of the object.

A third way would be to simply measure the dimensions of the object and mathematically calculate the volume (e.g. a cube would be length*width*height).

What do volume formula mean?

It is a set of mathematical operations which have to be carried out, using some measures of an object and possibly mathematical constants, to find the total amount of space which an object occupies.


What is the formula to compute volume?

There is no single formula. It depends on the shape of the object whose volume you are trying to find.


What is the formula for finding the mass of an object?

To find the volume of an object use the formula v=dm where Volume=Density x Mass To find the mass of an object use the formula m=dv where Mass=Density x Volume


When to use the displacement formula?

You use the displacement formula when you put an object in water and need to find the volume of the object.


What do you need to find an object's density?

You need the object's volume and the object's mass to find the object's density. Then, you divide the object's mass by it's volume. The formula for density is d = density m = mass v = volume


How do you find the volume of an object when the mass is 55.26 and the dencity is 103.27?

To find the volume of an object, you can use the formula: Volume = Mass / Density. In this case, to find the volume, you would divide the mass (55.26) by the density (103.27) which would give you the volume of the object.


What formula do you use to find volume of rectangular object?

Volume = Length * Width * Height


How do you find the mass of an object when you are given the volume and density of the object?

You can find the mass of an object by multiplying its volume by its density. The formula to calculate mass is: mass = volume x density. Simply plug in the given values for volume and density to calculate the mass of the object.


What example of finding volume?

There kind of solid object will determine the formula that will be used to find its volume.


What is the calculus formula to find the density of an irregular shaped object?

There is no general formula. Many times an object can be looked at as the sum of smaller parts for which a formula is known. Ultimately all shapes can be reduced to small polyhedrons and then summed.


Describe how to find out which has a bigger volume?

To find which object has a bigger volume, you may be required to use formula to calculate their volumes.


How do you find the density with just the volume?

To find density with just the volume, you need to know the mass of the object as well. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. The formula for density is: Density = Mass / Volume.
