To measure the volume of a solid, you would place the solid in a graduated cylinder or beaker (depending on the size of the solid) with a recorded volume of water. After putting the solid in the water, the water will rise, and subtracting the original volume from the final volume will give you the volume of the solid.
Ex. Put a block in a graduated cylinder with 50 mL of water and the level rises to 75 mL. Volume=75-50=25 mL
To determine the mass of the solid, you would simply mass it on a balance or scale.
What else can I help you with?
What science tools would use to measure volume?
Graduated cylinder for liquids and small solids and a gas would have the volume of the container it's in
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).
What tools are needed to find the denisty of an object?
To find the density of an object, you would need a balance to measure its mass and a ruler to measure its volume. Once you have these measurements, you can use the formula density = mass/volume to calculate the density of the object.
How do find density if only mass is given of a rectangular solid?
If this rectangular solid is actually in your possession, then you would measure it and calculate the volume, after which you can derive the density by dividing the mass by the volume. If it is not in your possession, then you are clearly being asked to call upon your psychic powers to solve this problem.
What would you use to measure density?
The density of a substance is the ratio of its mass to its volume. So, I would measure the mass and volume of a substance to calculate density.

What tools are used to measure the density of a regularly shaped solid?
For a simple regular shape, then calculating its volume, and measuring its weight would be the appropriate approach. For this you'll need a ruler, and a weight balance. Its density is given by weight per unit volume. e.g. 1.35 grams per ml.
How do you measure the volume irregular solid?
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
What surface area equal to its volume?
No solid figure has a surface area equal to its volume. That would not be possible as the units of measure are different.
What tools would a student need to find a density of a metal cube?
You would need a balance to measure its mass. You would need a ruler to measure the length of its sides. Then you would need to calculate volume. Then divide the mass by the volume to get density.
What are the steps you would use to find the volume of an irregular solid in an oveflow can?
To find the volume of an irregular solid using the overflow can method, you would first fill the overflow can with water and measure the initial volume. Next, you would submerge the irregular solid in the overflow can, causing the water to overflow. Measure the new volume of water in the overflow can with the solid submerged. Finally, you would subtract the initial volume from the final volume to find the volume of the irregular solid.
Which would be the BEST tool to measure 50ml of alcohol?
A graduated cylinder or a pipette would be the best tools to measure 50ml of alcohol precisely. These tools are designed for accurate volume measurement and are common in laboratory settings.
What pieces of lab equipment measure volume?
There are three ways to measure volume. If you are measuring a liquid, you need a graduated cyliner. If you are measuring the volume of a regular solid, you need a ruler to measure length, width, and height. You would then use the formula V=LxWxH. The third way to measure volume is to use displacement to find the volume of an irregular solid. You would put a certain amount of water in a graduated cylinder, write the starting amount down. Add the irregular solid to the graduated cylinder. Record the ending amount of liquid and subtract the ending amount minus the starting amount.
When is ml the preferred unit to use to for volume?
When you are measureing smaller units you would use mL
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).
If air bubble were trapped in your solid beneath the liquid level in your density determination what error would result in the volume measurement?
An air bubble in the solution would effectively increase the volume that you measure for the solid because you would coutn the volume of the bubble as the volume of the solid (but of course, it's just air!).So if you measure the density of a solid by putting a weighed amount of the solid in a liquid (in which the solid is insoluble), then an air bubble in the solution would make the measured volume of the solid larger than it really is.Density is found by taking the mass divided by volume. Assuming you find the mass correctly, if the measured volume is larger than the real volume, the denominator in the fraction (mass/volume) will be too big. If a denominator is too big, than the fraction is smaller.Therefore an air bubble will cause you tounder estimate the density.
