Finding the volume of an odd shaped object can be done using water displacement. You fill up a graduated cylinder or another container that has measurements for volume with water. You then place the object in the water. You measure the volume before you add the object and then again afterwards. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of your object.

What tools do you measure mass volume and weight with?

For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).


When is terminal velocity reacted by a falling object?

Despite how odd it may seem, an object never actually achieves its terminal velocity. The way air resistance works is that it provides a force proportional to the current velocity of the falling object. This results in the object experiencing less and less force as it slows down. The falling object will just keep getting closer and closer to its terminal velocity without ever actually achieving it. At the very least however, you can figure out how long is needed to reach a given percentage of the terminal velocity. To figure that out we can use the equation percentage=1-e^(-bt/m) Where b is a constant determining how much friction is experienced, t is the time in seconds, and m is the mass in kilograms. So, if for example you wanted to know how much time is needed to achieve 99% you would find that the required time is t=4.60517*m/b.


What is harmonic overtone?

In physics the first harmonic is the fundamental. In physics is the second harmonic the first overtone. In physics is the third harmonic the second overtone. In physics is the fourth harmonic the third overtone. Even-numbered harmonics are odd-numbered overtones. Odd-numbered harmonics are even-numbered overtones.


Which is greater 3 kg or 300 mL?

Neither. 3 L and 3000 mL are equal to the same volume.


What is the difference between the first harmonic and first overtone?

The first harmonic is the fundamental. The second harmonic the first overtone. The third harmonic the second overtone. The fourth harmonic the third overtone. Even-numbered harmonics are odd-numbered overtones. Odd-numbered harmonics are even-numbered overtones.

How does measuring volume by difference method compare with measuring volume using math for odd shaped objects?

Measuring volume by the difference method involves measuring the volume of water displaced when an object is submerged in a known volume of water. This method is suitable for irregularly shaped objects. On the other hand, measuring volume using math for odd-shaped objects typically involves mathematical formulas or calculations based on the object's dimensions. While both methods can be accurate, the difference method may be more practical and straightforward for some shapes.


Is the science way how to find the volume of odd shaped easier than using the math way to find it?

No, because the scientific way depends on mathematics. If you use the fluid displacement method, you have to be able to subtract!

What is the si unit used to measure the volume of liquid or odd shaped container?

Volume is a cubic linear measurement the SI unit for linear measures is the meter. The SI volume unit is the cubic meter but liter is accepted (one micro m3) for smaller volumes ml (milli liter) = cm3 (cubic centimeter)


What is the CBM?

The cubic volume occupied by a shipment in Cubic Meters is referred to as the shipments cbm. Note, it is cubic volume occupied, not the volume that would be displaced if placed in a water bath. An odd shaped package would occupy a much larger volume than its pure cubic volume.
