How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object that also reacts with water?
We will assume there is no difficulty in weighing the object, so the problem becomes how to measure the volume of the object accurately enough to calculate the density within a reasonable degree of certainty. There are several possible ways.
- Immerse the object in a non-reactive liquid (oil, perhaps) and measure the amount of liquid displaced.
- Apply a thin coat of insulating material (paint, or wax) all over the object, and then immerse the coated object in water and measure the amount of water displaced.
- Cut the object into a group of regular geometric shapes (boxes, spheres, prisms, cones, pyramids, etc.), and measure the dimensions of each geometric shape, and calculate the aggregate volume (destructive, and less accurate)
- Drill a cylindrical core sample of the object, weigh the sample, and precisely measure the dimensions of the cylindrical sample to calculate volume (destructive, and assumes the density of the object is uniform)
- Make a clay, wax, or other mold of the object, and measure the volume of the mold.
- Place the object in an three dimensional laser scanner and compute the volume using the software in the scanner computer.

How do you calculate the density of both an irregular and regular shaped floating object?
To calculate the density of an irregular shaped floating object, you can measure its mass using a balance and then find its volume by submerging it in a known volume of water and measuring the water displaced. For a regular shaped floating object, you can simply divide its mass by its volume to find the density.
How do you find the density of regular and irregular shaped objects?
To find the density of a regular shaped object, you can calculate it by dividing the mass of the object by its volume. For irregular shaped objects, you would measure the mass of the object using a scale, then measure its displaced water volume when submerged in a graduated cylinder. The density can then be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume of water displaced.
How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object that sinks?
Measure the volume of the object which is same as the volume of the displaced liquid in which that sinks. And measure the mass of the same object from a weighing machine. then use density = mass/volume
What lab equipment is needed to find the density of an irregular shaped object?
To find the density of an irregular shaped object, you would need a balance to measure its mass, a graduated cylinder to measure its volume by displacement method, and a ruler to measure its dimensions for calculations.
How the density of a regular and irregular objects determined?
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).

What is the formula for the density of a irregular shaped object?
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)regardless of the substance, or the shape of the sample.

What is the calculus formula to find the density of an irregular shaped object?
There is no general formula. Many times an object can be looked at as the sum of smaller parts for which a formula is known. Ultimately all shapes can be reduced to small polyhedrons and then summed.
What is the difference between an irregular-shaped object and a regular- shaped object?
I am not positive but i think that a regular shaped object can be measured and an irregular can not Hope this helps :D

The volume of the object.
What are the units for density on an irregulary shaped object?
