What tool should you use to measure the volume of a wooden block?

Answer 1

It depends upon the shape of the wooden block. For example, assume that the block has a simple cuboid shape. To find the volume, multiply the length by width and by the height. This can be done using a ruler or a metre stick; it depends upon the dimensions and size of the object. After all, you wouldn't use a ruler to measure a block with a height in metres, would you?

Answer 2

You can use a ruler or a measuring tape to measure the length, width, and height of the wooden block. Then, you can calculate the volume by multiplying the three measurements together (Volume = Length x Width x Height).

Answer 3

Well it is due to the fact that when you submerge the wooden block into the the cylinder. The displacement of water from the initial-measurement (before the block was submerge) to finial-measurement will be the volume of wooden block.

Note: In cases of floating objects. You can always add a sinker to it to submerge the object. But you will need to take into account the volume of the sinker and minus off the added volume of sinker.

Answer 4

3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm3 = 27 ml. That's IF it sinks. But unless it's a block of ebony, teak, or

mahogany, a block of wood probably floats in water. We would have to know its density in order

to calculate its displacement.

Answer 5

length x width x height

use a ruler

Answer 6

If one has learned to calculate the volume of the box from its dimensions,

then nothing more elegant than a ruler is required.

Answer 7

You multiply L*H*W

Answer 8

You measure it with a meter

Answer 9

A tape measure or ruler.

Answer 10

The answer is you think about it.
