Water is water displacement method

Answer 1

The water displacement method is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. This method was discovered by Archimedes in Ancient Greece, while he was taking a bath. He was so excited at his discovery that he ran through the streets of Athens naked, shouting Eureka!

-Start with a known volume of water. It is easiest to use a graduated cylinder or beaker, as they have volume measurements along the side. Record that volume.

-Add the solid object. Measure the new volume in the beaker.

-Subtract the two volumes, to get the amount of water displaced. This is the volume of the solid object.
If you are talking about water displacement to measure the volume of an object, you would use a graduated cylinder, if the object was small enough, and put water into the graduated cylinder, then you put the object in and however much the water rises, usually mm, that is the volume of the object

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

The water displacement method is a way to determine the volume of an irregular solid. You place enough water in a graduated cylinder so that the object will be covered by the water when you place it into the cylinder. Determine the volume of water and record it. Then place the solid into the graduated cylinder. Determine the new volume and record it. Subtract the first volume from the second volume and that will give you the volume of the solid in mL. Since 1mL = 1cm3, you can convert the volume of the solid in mL directly to cm3. So, if the volume of the solid is determined to be 15mL, you can convert it directly to 15cm3.
