A displacement can is used to measure the volume of a solid object.
A displacement can is a bucket with a spout in the side, near the top. First the bucket is filled until it just overflows the spout. Then something is put under the spout to collect water that comes out. As you submerge the object in the bucket, water will pour out of the spout.
The volume of of water that overflowed into the collecting container is measured. The volume of overflow water equals the volume of the solid that was placed in the water.
Legend has it that the ancient Greek scholar Archimedes was tasked by the king to measure the volume of gold that had been stolen from him by a crown-maker. While puzzling over the problem, he was taking a bath and noticed the water rise in the tub and realized it was equal to the submerged volume of his body. He leaped from the tub and ran naked down the street shouting eureka, eureka (means I have found it in Greek)

How do you find the density of a rectangular solid if the only instrument you have with you is a ruler?
To find the density of a rectangular solid with just a ruler, you would need to measure the length, width, and height with the ruler. Then, calculate the volume by multiplying the three measurements together. Finally, divide the mass of the rectangular solid by the volume to find the density.
What is the method used to find out the volume of an irregular solid?
One method to find the volume of an irregular solid is by using the water displacement method. This involves submerging the solid in a known volume of water and measuring the increase in water level, which corresponds to the volume of the solid.
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 technique would you use to find the volume of a solid?
To determine the volume of a solid one measures the change in volume when the object is placed in a known volume of water. Depending on the size of the object, this procedure could be followed. Fill a 100 cm3 measuring cylinder to 50 cm3. Add the object to the cylinder and read the new volume. If the object is larger, add it to a container with a spout that is filled to the brim with water and collect the runoff. Collect and measure the volume of the runoff.
What is The differences in finding the density of rectangular solid object and finding the density of an irregular solid object?
To find the density of a rectangular solid object, you would calculate the mass of the object by multiplying its volume by its density. For an irregular solid object, you would typically measure its mass using a balance and its volume using displacement of water, then divide the mass by the volume to find the density. The main difference lies in how you determine the volume of the object, with rectangular solids having a straightforward formula for volume calculation compared to irregular shapes which require more complex methods.
What instrument would you use to find the volume of a irregular solid?
To find the volume of an irregular solid, you can use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. First, fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water and record this level. Then, gently submerge the irregular solid in the water; the rise in water level indicates the volume of the solid, which can be determined by subtracting the initial water level from the new water level. This method effectively measures the volume of the solid without needing its dimensions.

How would you find the height of a solid if you know the volume and base area?
Divide the base area into the volume.
What instrument would you use in the science laboratory to find the mass of the solid?
Triple-beam balance.
Finding the volume of a solid when would water displacement be helpful?
When you are trying to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
How do you find solid volume?
you can find the volume in a solid by taking the substance and putting it into a cilinder and measureing the change in inches.
A regular pyramid with a square base has a volume of 9M squared and an edge measuring 3M. Find the volume of a similar solid that has edge measuring of 4M?
The volume of the similar solid would be 16M squared.
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.
