There are three ways to measure volume. If you are measuring a liquid, you need a graduated cyliner. If you are measuring the volume of a regular solid, you need a ruler to measure length, width, and height. You would then use the formula V=LxWxH. The third way to measure volume is to use displacement to find the volume of an irregular solid. You would put a certain amount of water in a graduated cylinder, write the starting amount down. Add the irregular solid to the graduated cylinder. Record the ending amount of liquid and subtract the ending amount minus the starting amount.

What are 5 pieces of safety equipment found in a lab?
Gloves, goggles, aprons, chemical fume hoods, and emergency showers.
What lab equipment is needed to determine the density of an irregular shape?
You do not need fancy lab equipment.Basically you need to determine two pieces of information1) The mass of the "irregular" shape (use a scale)2) The volume of the shape (use water displacement in a bucket/tub to find volume)Take the mass / volume and you have density.

What lab safety equipment do the students use in the classroom?
In a classroom, students should not need to use any laboratory safety equipment. Lab safety equipment such as splash goggles, full foot covering, lab coat, etc., should be used when students are in a teaching laboratory.

What lab equipment would you need to measure the density of a piece of metal?
To obtain the density you need to know the mass, and the volume of the object.So you'd have to weigh it using a balance to obtain the mass.The easiest way to measure the volume (particularly if it's an irregular shape) would be via the displacement of water.density = mass / volume
