A balance is used to measure the mass of an irregularly shaped solid.
To measure the density of an irregularly shaped solid using water displacement, you can submerge the solid in a known volume of water and measure the volume of water displaced. Then, divide the mass of the solid by the volume of water displaced to find the density. Since the solid may not displace water as neatly as a regular shape, it's important to take accurate measurements and ensure the solid is fully submerged.
To measure a 3D box-shaped solid, you will need to measure the length, width, and height of the box. Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure each side, and then multiply the length, width, and height together to find the volume of the box. Finally, you can measure the surface area by calculating the sum of the areas of all six sides of the box.
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid such as a watch is found by immersing that solid in water inside a graduated cylinder. You can then simply read the change in water level off the markings on the cylinder. Of course, if your watch is not water proof, this may not be such a good idea.
To establish the density of a solid rectangular shaped object, you would first measure its mass using a scale. Then, measure its dimensions (length, width, and height) with a ruler to calculate its volume. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to determine the density, which is expressed in units such as grams per cubic centimeter.
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.
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.
To measure the density of an irregularly shaped solid using water displacement, you can submerge the solid in a known volume of water and measure the volume of water displaced. Then, divide the mass of the solid by the volume of water displaced to find the density.

This is the Archimedes principle.
you would use the water displacement theory
When you are trying to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
well, for an irregularly shaped object it is a eureka can or a graduated cylinder, but for a regularly shaped object it is a simple formula: Length*Width*Height. I am 10 years old and learned that in science class.
Yes you can.You can measure the solid by putting it into a gradruated cylinder.The height of the water shows you how much volume the solid has. fun is at www.qyue.webs.com
A cube is hardly an irregularly shaped object. Measuring it is the defining term of area and volume. A cube is defined as having twelve sides, all lengths uniform, all angles right angles. If the length of any side is 'a' then area = 6*a*a volume = a*a*a
a thermometer
By water displacement. Pour a certain volume of water into a graduated cylinder, and record that volume. Now, place the irregularly shaped object into the cylinder, and record the level to which the water now rises. Take the difference between those two volumes, and you now have the volume of your irregularly shaped object.
use Archimedis' law- take a known volume of water in a vessel filled upto the brim and immerse the object that you want to measure the volume inside the vessel without giving any pressure and measure the volume of the water overflowed. that will give you the volume of the object(an approximate value)
