graduated cylinder
the liquid volume displaced is equal to your irregular solid volume.
If you submerge the object in a volumetrically-labeled beaker, the volume of water displaced (how much the water rises when the object is submerged), is the volume of the object.Either a graduated cylinder or overflow can is used to measure the volume of an irregular solid by water displacement.
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
Regular solids have all sides the same, irregular solids have different sides.
Fill the can with a liquid to the top so it almost overflows. Put the solid in the can and catch the overflowing liquid. Measure the liquid. The measurement of the liquid will give you the volumn of the solid.
By using Archimedes principle which is by immersing the object in water and noting its displacement by its apparent loss of weight when suspended on a balance
To find the volume of an irregular solid, you can use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. First, fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water and record this level. Then, gently submerge the irregular solid in the water; the rise in water level indicates the volume of the solid, which can be determined by subtracting the initial water level from the new water level. This method effectively measures the volume of the solid without needing its dimensions.
The volume of the irregular solid can be found by measuring the displaced water, which is 5ml. This means the volume of the irregular solid is also 5ml.
A ruler no a better way is by dropping the cube in a liquid containg beaker displaced liquid will give you the volume
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
To measure the volume of a large irregular solid, you can use the water displacement method. Fill a container with a known volume of water, then submerge the irregular solid in the water and measure the change in water level. The difference in water level will indicate the volume of the irregular solid.
It's simple, you just have to take a measurable recipient big enough to contain the solid, fill the recipient with a known volume of water and drop the irregular solid into the water. Then you can measure the increase of volume, which will be equivalent to the volume of your solid.
To find the volume of an irregular solid using the overflow can method, you would first fill the overflow can with water and measure the initial volume. Next, you would submerge the irregular solid in the overflow can, causing the water to overflow. Measure the new volume of water in the overflow can with the solid submerged. Finally, you would subtract the initial volume from the final volume to find the volume of the irregular solid.
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
L x W x H Lenght x Width x Hieght
Density = Mass / Volume. There is not an instrument that will measure both so you will need to measure them separately and calculate the density.
If you have a ruler then you could measure the length width and height and then multiply them together. (LWH is the formula)
The answer will depend on what characteristic of the object is being measured: its mass, volume, surface area, colour, density etc.
