You can either:
- try the displacement method with a fluid which is less dense than water, or
- measure the volume of a very dense object (which will sink), attach this object to the given solid and find their combined volume. The difference between the two volumes is the required answer.
What else can I help you with?
What will be used to determine th volume of irregularly shaped solids?
Eureka! Archimedes may have the answer. Sink your solid in a measuring cylinder,or the equivalent, and measure the volume of the displacement. Archimedes indeed discovered the practical solution. The formulas for almost all theoretical solids were figured out by the time of Johan Kepler. It was Isaac Newton and/or Goffreid Leibnetz that finally came up with integral calculus that takes care of absolutely everything.
Do cubes float better in water than spheres?
No, cubes do not float better in water than spheres. Objects float based on their density and volume, not their shape. If a cube and a sphere have the same density and volume, they will float in water in the same manner.
How much water should you use to make an object float?
The amount of water needed to make an object float depends on the object's density and volume. The volume of water displaced by the object should be equal to or greater than the volume of the object for it to float. Adding more water will increase the buoyant force.
Comparing the density of a liquid to the density of water is?
Comparing the density of a liquid to water helps determine if the liquid will sink or float in water. If the liquid is denser than water, it will sink, and if it is less dense, it will float. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so a higher density means more mass in a given volume.
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Volume will determine how much water will be displaced. The volume of an object dictates how much space it occupies, which in turn determines the amount of water it displaces when submerged. Mass alone does not directly affect water displacement.
What Solids that don't float on water?
one answer is a brick.A brick does not float on water.
Why does volume and mass affect whether an object will float or sink in water.?
An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water, because the buoyant force acting on it will be greater than its weight. Mass and volume determine an object's density, with density being a measure of how much mass is in a given volume. Objects with lower density than water will float, while those with higher density will sink.
How does density determine if a object will sink or float?
If it is in water, the density for water is 1. If the object is less than 1, it will float. If it is more than more, it will sink. To find the density, you do mass divided by volume.
Will kilogram float in water why?
The mass of an object alone is not enough to determine whether it will float in water. You need to know the object's mass and its volume; in other words, its density. A kilogram of solid lead will sink in water. A kilogram of styrofoam will float. If an object is less dense than water it will float; if it is denser it will sink.
How will you determine if something will float in water?
If the object, when submerged in water, displaces a volume of water whose mass is greater than its own, then it will float. The density of the material from which it is made is not the key as can be seen from the fact that ships made of metal will float.
Are there other solids besides ice and water that will float in the same liquid?
Oil/petroleum (gasoline?) will float on top of water as well.

Would an object float if the density is 350 g and a volume is 95 cm squared?
To determine if an object will float, compare its density to the density of the fluid it will be placed in (usually water). An object with a density greater than that of water (1 g/cm^3) will sink, while an object with a density less than water will float. In this case, with a density of 350 g and a volume of 95 cm^3, you would need to know the density of the fluid (e.g., water) to determine if it would float or sink.
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.
Do cubes float better in water than spheres?
No, cubes do not float better in water than spheres. Objects float based on their density and volume, not their shape. If a cube and a sphere have the same density and volume, they will float in water in the same manner.
Why do some solids gets bigger when put in the water?
The most common reason is that the solids are absorbing water in sufficient volume to cause a notable change in volume, without dissolving or losing their appearance as solids.
What experiments prove that solids occupy space?
One experiment that proves solids occupy space is measuring the volume of a solid using displacement method. By placing the solid in a container with water and measuring the change in water level, you can determine the volume of the solid. Another experiment involves using a caliper to measure the dimensions of a solid and then calculating its volume using the formula for the volume of a solid object.
