The basic way is you take the volume of the water before you put the object in the water, then you measure the volume of the water and object.

How do you find the volume of large irregular shape object?

One way to find the volume of a large irregular shape object is to use the displacement method. Submerge the object in a container of water and measure the volume of water displaced. This volume is equal to the volume of the irregular object.


How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object?

You need to find the displacement, easiest way for irregular objects is water displacement. If it can fit in a graduated cylinder use that and find out how much water is displaced when the object is submerged. Then weigh it and divide the weight by the volume. Your unit will be whatever units you weighed it in, say grams, per whatever unit you measured displacement in, say cm.


What is the method used to find out the volume of an irregular solid?

One method to find the volume of an irregular solid is by using the water displacement method. This involves submerging the solid in a known volume of water and measuring the increase in water level, which corresponds to the volume of the solid.


What is the process scientist use to find the volume of an irregular object?

Displacement is the process used to find the volume of an irregular object. This is done by submerging the object in water and measuring either the height the water rises or the volume of water that overflows the container.


How would you find the density of a crown?

You would find the density of a crown by dividing the crown's mass by its volume. The formula for density is density = mass/volume. Weigh the crown to find its mass and then measure its volume by displacement in a known liquid.

Explain how to find the density of a substance?

Density is calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume. To find the volume, you can measure the dimensions if it is a regular shape, or use water displacement method for irregular shapes. Once you have the mass and volume, divide the mass by the volume to find the density.

Can water displacement find the volume of substances?

Water displacement can accurately find the volume of substances as it represents the same amount of space or volume. An object placed into the water will displace the same amount of water volume as its own volume.
