For any regular prism, multiply the area of the base by the length of a side.

For irregular objects, use water displacement. Measure a volume of liquid with a graduated cylinder (or other measuring tool). Then, simply drop the object you want to know the volume of into the water. Find the new measurement that the water reaches on the graduated cylinder. Subtract the new reading from the old reading, and that's the volume of the object.

What are the two ways to measure the density of an object?

The two ways to measure the density of an object are by using its mass and volume. You can calculate density by dividing the object's mass by its volume, or by measuring the displacement of water when the object is submerged in it.


Who do you measure volume?

Volume can be measured in different ways depending on what king of substance do you want to measure. Also, depending on the application. Volume is equivalent to: Length x Width x Height. Liquids, on the contrary, are measured using a graduated cylinder. Solids can be measured by calculating the difference between the volumes. The volum e of the liquid, and the volume of the liquid with the solid in it. The difference of the two values is the volume of the solid. This is because, solids are measured by the amount of liquid volume that is displace. Hope it helps.


Name two metric units used to measure solid volume?

Cubic centimeters (cm^3) and cubic meters (m^3) are commonly used metric units to measure solid volume.

How will you determine the density of an irregular solid like pebbles?

To determine the density of irregular solids like pebbles, you can use the water displacement method. First, measure the volume of water in a container. Then, add the irregular solid to the water and measure the new volume. The difference in the two volume readings can be used to calculate the volume of the irregular solid. Finally, divide the mass of the pebbles by the volume to calculate the density.


How you can measure the volume of underground water?

Hydrologists measure the volume of underground water in two ways. First, they use direct soil physics to estimate, and secondly, they use soil's physical parameters.


What are two different ways to measure volume?

length x width x height or put water in a graduated cylinder, and measure the volume of water. then place the object in the graduated cylinder and record the new volume of the water. subtract the old volume from the new, and that is the volume of the object.


How do you determine the volume of solids that float on the water?

To determine the volume of a solid that floats on water, you can use the principle of displacement. Submerge the solid in a container of water and measure the volume of water displaced. This volume is equal to the volume of the solid.


What tool can be used to measure the volume of an irregular solid object?

To find the volume of a solid you can't simply calculate, get a large tub of water in which you can completely immerse the solid. Fill the tub with water to the edge, then submerge the solid. Any water that spills over has been replaced by the solid and signifies the amount of space the solid is now taking up. Weigh the water or put it in 1l bottles. 1kg of water is 1l and a liter is a cubic decimeter. From there you can calculate the volume in any unit you want.


How do scientists measure length volume Mass and density?

Length is measured with a ruler, or any kind of object with measurements on it. Volume is measured in two ways: If it's a liquid, it is poured into a container with measurements on it. If it's a solid, it is completely submerged into a container filled with a liquid (usually water) and using the measurements on the side of the container, all that needs to be done is to measure the difference to find the volume. Mass is weight/volume. Density in some cases is weight/mass, but it is mostly volume/mass. Hope this is what you wanted!


How the process of measuring a liquid's volume differs from the solid's volume?

A liquid's volume is measured in a graduated cylinder, while a solid with a irregular shape must be measured by: 1. Filling a graduated cylinder of an appropriate size with water2. record the volume of the water3. submerge the solid completely in the water in the graduated cylinder4. record the new volume level of the water5. subtract the original volume level from the second volume level to determine the volume of the solid.
