How do you figure out the volume of an irregular solid since you cannot pour a solid into a graduated cylinder?

The easiest way to measure the amount of fluid it displaces. So if you fill a graduated cylinder with a certain amount of water, and then place the solid object inside the cylinder, the water level will increase. The amount of increase equals the solid objects mass. EUREKA!

What are the parts of a gas cylinder?
A cylinder is a basic geometric three dimensional figure. The base is a circle. A cylinder can be described as an enclosed tube. It cannot be classified as a polygon since all of the sides are not segments.
A graduated cylinder was filled to 25 mls with liquid Then a solid object weighing 73.5 gms was immersed in the liquid raising the liquid level to 43.9 mls What is the density of the object?
Figure it out yourself and stop trying to cheat you loser. That is one of the commandments of the bible not to do. Try following this link: http://www.turnbacktogod.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/10-commandments-explained.jpg
How do you figure out density of an irregular shaped object such as a key?
density is mass per volume. First weigh (mass) the key, then to find it's volume, place it into a container with liquid and measure how much volume is displaced.
Why do you need to measure the mass of a empty graduated cylinder first?
What you really need to know is the mass of the liquid. You'll most likely measure itby weighing the liquid when it's in the container. The weight you measure will includethe weight of the container, and you'll have to subtract that away in order to knowthe weight of the liquid alone.If you can figure out a way to weigh the liquid when it's out of the container, thenyou'll never need to do anything about the mass of the container, not even measure it.
How do cells get the glucose they need for respiration?
i honestly dont know im trying to figure that out too
How could you measure the volume of an object with an irregular shape?
One way to figure this out is to put the object in a graduated cylinder containing water and measuring the changes in the volume of the water.
How does a piece of metal in a graduated cylinder of water allows you to figure out the volume?
The reading on the graduated scale is taken before and after the metal is lowered into the cylinder . The second reading is subtracted from the first. This gives the volume of the metal in cubic centimetres.
Explain Why is the surface of water in a graduated cylinder curved?
it is probably called figure it out, it is curved because glass is sticky. When you measure the volume from a graduated cylinder, measure at the bottom of it. It is called the meniscus.
How do you know that the rock in the figure with the graduated cylinder has a volume of 10 mL?
The level of the liquid in the cylinder rose by 10 mL when the rock was submerged in the liquid.
What fraction of a cubic centimeter do the smallest divisions on each of the graduated cylinder in figure c represent?
Pta nahi.....
What is an irregular figure?
a irregular figure is not a particular shape it may have two or more figures in to make a irregular figure
How would you neasure the volume of an object with an irregular shape?
o take the irregular shape & put in a graduated cylinder filled with the amount of water you want. then you take the measurement on how much it grew then subtract your answer with the original
How can you measure a 12 sided figure using a graduated cilinder?
Place the 12 sided figure into the graduated cylinder, then fill the cylinder with water. Take note of how high the water level is (W1) . Fish out the 12 sided figure without removing much of the water. Take note of how high the water level is now (W2). The volume of the 12 sided object equals the difference in water level (W1 - W2).
How many lines of symmetry does a irregular figure have?
It depends on the irregular figure. A rectangle, for example, has two.
What is a irregular figures?
an irregular figure is when it is open or have curved lines.
What is a 6 sided figure that is a irregular polygon?
An irregular hexagon.
How many milliliters does each line stand for in a large graduated cylinder?
You would need to specify the capacity of the graduated cylinder. And at that you would probably need to specify the brand. Look at the 1st figure marked on the graduation going up, then count the graduations from that downwards. eg. if the first figure is 50ml and there are 10 lines coming up to 50ml then each graduation is 5ml. (50/10)
