It is a very easy way of determining the volume of a small object. For example, if you have a marble and want to know the mass, all you have to do is put 5ml of water in a graduated cylinder, then put in the marble, and read it. It will say something like 8ml, so 8ml-5ml= 3ml volume of marble. Easy, right?

∙ 12y agoRocks may have cracks or crevices. If measured using water displacement, those indentions will not be calculated with the entire density of the rock because they are filled with water, making it a more accurate read.

What is a displacement beaker?
a displacement beaker (canister) is used to determine volume of irregular objects. Water is put into the beaker up to the spout, and then an object is placed inside; the water that pours out is collected in a more accurate measurement device, this water is equal (or close to) the volume of the object.
How can a human find out his own volume?
Water displacement. get in a tub of measured water, mark where water level is when fully submerged, measure difference. Simplest if not the most accurate way of doing something.
Need a sentence for displacement?
After you dropped a rock in a cup of water you noticed some displacement of the water on the counter.
How do you measure the density of an irregular object like a ball?
You need to do the water displacement method. The water displacement needs a graduated cylinder and water.
Why is displacement of water an example of an indirect measurement?
Water displacement is a method to measure volume
Which is more accurate to measure density Archimedes principle or water displacement method?
They are both the same. displacement method is another name for Archimedes' principle

What is more accurate water displacement of a volume or measuring their dimensions and calculating?
That depends on the shape. If it is a uniform configuration with simple sides or walls where accurate dimension are used then calculating the volume is more accurate. If the cavity is of a unusual shape such as the combustion chamber for a cylinder head on an engine, then water displacement is more accurate. With modern software, dimension for such a cavity can be calculated by computer. However, variation to the cavity when machined or cast will never be the same as the computer model. R. Clontz
How do I find my body's volume?
to be accurate, youll have to do a water displacement test. you submerge into a tub of water and the amount of displacement is used to calculate volume (minus voids in lungs and sinusus for hyper-accuracy). Some professional weight loss clinics offer the service.

What is more accurate volume displacement or dimensions of an object?
Either can be accurate. Depends on how accurate your measurements or equipment is. The shape of the objects could be a major factor, too.
Is volume displacement give the more accurate measurement of volume?
volume displacement is a very good way to calculate the volume of something that is more dense than water (because it doesn't bob up). However water may adhere to the outside of the container that the water was displaced from, so you may be better off with other means if available.
What is the relationship between the weight of a viking boat and the water displacement?
the more weight, the more water displacement.
Need a sentence for displacement?
