Yes, it certainly could.
In a regular object, the density can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume using straightforward geometric formulas. In an irregular object, the volume might need to be determined through methods like water displacement or computer modeling, as it cannot be easily measured. The density is then calculated in the same way by dividing the mass by the volume.
Weigh the object. Determine the volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density. To get the volume of an irregular shaped object can be challenging especially if there are cavities (holes) in it. submersion in a liquid or powder of known volume might be possible. Measure the difference in the volume of the liquid and the liquid + the object (making sure the object is entirely below the surface of the liquid and that any cavities are filled).
Displacement is equal to the volume of fluid displaced by an object. The displacement of an object in a fluid depends on the volume of the object itself, not the volume of the fluid.
The volume of an irregularly shaped geometric object is typically determined by the amount of water it displaces when submerged. This method utilizes the principle of fluid displacement to calculate the volume of the object. By measuring the amount of water the object displaces, one can determine its volume.
The volume of an irregular object is different from that of a regular object because irregular objects do not have a consistent shape like regular objects. Regular objects have known formulas for calculating volume (e.g., cubes, cylinders), while irregular objects require more complex methods such as displacement or computer simulations to determine their volume.
The volume of an object can be determined by the displacement of water. By dropping the object into a measuring container of water, where the volume of the water is known, the object's volume can then be calculated by subtracting the volume of the water by the volume of the water and object combined.
Water displacement.
The density of an object is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. For a regular object, the volume can be determined using geometric formulas based on its shape. In contrast, the volume of an irregular object is typically measured using water displacement, where the object is submerged in water, and the volume of water displaced is equal to the object's volume. Once the mass and volume are known, density is calculated using the formula: density = mass/volume.

Volume can be determined by measuring the amount of space an object occupies. For regular shapes, calculations can be made using geometric formulas (e.g., length × width × height for a rectangular prism). For irregular shapes, volume can be measured using water displacement methods, where the volume of water displaced by the object in a graduated container indicates the object's volume. Additionally, for gases, volume can be measured using gas laws under specific conditions of temperature and pressure.

Yes
Finding the volume of an irregular object is called displacement method or water displacement method, where the object is submerged in water in a container and the volume of water displaced is measured to determine the volume of the object.
You need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula when the object is not a regular solid. It could be an object like a pen where the height, weight, and length can't be easily measured, or a liquid.
