What is the method used to find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?
The method you would use is to take a graduated cylinder, face the markings towards you, fill the cylinder with a liquid that won't react with said object (usually water is fine) to an appropriate measure (around half way depending on the size of the object), record the volume before placing the object in the fluid, place the object in the fluid and record the volume after, subtract the initial from the total (liquid +object's displacement) and you will have the objects volume. However you must be aware that certain objects will float or at least have some amount of buoyancy making determining it's volume harder to ascertain (if at all possible) with this method.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call the procedure that helps you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object while using a graduated cylinder?
displacement - invented by Archimedes. Completely fill a large volume of something with water. Have a spout to channel all excess water. Place a graduated cylinder under the spout. Place irregular object in the large volume filled with water. The volume of the irregular object will displace an equivalent volume of water into the graduated cylinder. The measured volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object.
What is the volume of an irregular object that displaces 32ml of water in a graduated cylinder?
If 32 ml of water is displaced by a completely submerged object, that means the volume of the object is 32 ml as well (or 32 cc).
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 do you find the density of the irregular object?
First find the mass of the object. You need to find the volume of the irregular object. You do this by water displacement. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, you fill the cylinder with enough water to completely cover the object. DO NOT put the object in yet. Record that volume. Then gently place the object into the cylinder and record the new volume of water. The difference between the first and second volume is the volume of the object in mL, which is the same as cm3. If the object is too big to fit in a graduated cylinder, you can use an overflow can. You fill the can completely with water. The can has a downspout that will allow the water to flow out of the can. To do this, fill an overflow can completely with water. Allow the excess water to drain out of the downspout. Then place a beaker under the downspout. Gently put the object into the overflow can and catch the water that flows out in the beaker. Pour the water into a graduated cylinder and read the volume. This is the volume of the irregular solid. You can also hold a graduated cylinder under the downspout and let the water flow into the cylinder directly. The volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object. Once you have the volume of the irregular solid, you can use the density formula to find density. Density = mass/volume. See the related links below.
What tool do you use to measure an irregular object?
To measure the mass on an irregular object, you can use Water Displacement.Water displacement is a way of measuring mass. Materials needed for this are:A graduated cylinderWaterVariable (Irregular Object).Fill the graduated cylinder with a certain amount of water. Memorize it.Put the irregular object into the graduated cylinder. Find the mass by subtracting the first amount of water from the second. That's your mass.Hope this helps, and sorry if you didn't need all this information!
How do I find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?
To find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder, you can use the method of water displacement. Fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water, then carefully submerge the irregular object in the water. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the object. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to determine the volume of the irregular object.
What is the process called when the volume an irregular shaped object is found by putting it into a graduated cylinder of water?
water displacement or the displacement method
How is the volume of an irregular object measured?
by a graduated cylinder (don't rely on this answer i am not sure of it)
How to find the volume of an irregular shape?
To find the volume of an irregular shape, you need to use the water displacement method. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, fill the cylinder with enough water to adequately cover the object, but don't put the object inside the cylinder yet. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. Carefully drop the object into the cylinder. This will cause a rise in the water in the cylinder. Record this second volume. Subtract the first volume from the second volume, and the difference is the volume of the irregular object. For larger objects, use an overflow can.

How is volume of an irregular object calculated?
To find the volume of an irregular object such as a rock, you have to use displacement. If you place the object in a graduated cylinder filled with water, the volume of the object is equal to the amount of water that the object displaces. For example, if a graduated cylinder is filled with 100mL of water, and you place an object such as a rock and the water rises from 100mL to 106mL, then the volume of the rock is 6.
How can the volume of an object with an irregular shape be found and what is the method called?
The volume of an object with an irregular shape can be found using the water displacement method. This involves submerging the object in a graduated cylinder or overflow container filled with water and measuring the rise in water level. The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object. This method is particularly useful for objects that cannot be measured with standard geometric formulas.

How do you find the volume of an object bigger than the graduated cylinder?
You can find the volume of an object bigger than the graduated cylinder by using the displacement method using a beaker. The object also can be measured with a rules length, width, and height.
