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

∙ 11y agoThe easiest way to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped solid is to use a graduated cylinder and a liquid which does NOT dissolve the solid to be measured.
Pour sufficient liquid to cover the solid (an eyeball estimate.) Note the volume of the liquid. Then place the solid into the cylinder with the liquid, and note the volume.
The additional volume, i.e., the volume before adding the solid, is then subtracted from the new volume. The difference is the volume of your solid sample.

Can you use a balance to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid?
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
How is the volume of an irregularly shaped solid measured?
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.
What to scientists use to measure the mass of an irregularly shaped solid?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an irregularly shaped solid.
How to calculate density weight for aluminum?
Get a sample of the metal. Use a scale to find its mass. If it is shape is that of a rectangular solid (box) measure length, width, and height and multiply to find volume. If it is irregularly shaped, use the water displacement method to find its volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
How to get the volume of an irregularly shape or solid?
Measure the volume of the water you have. Insert irregular solid. Measure the volume of the water you have now, and subtract the initial water volume from the new water volume. The difference in volumes is the volume of your irregular solid.
Definite shape and volume-?
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
What the volume and shape of solid?
It has a fixed shape and volume
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.
What is the best way to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid is to use?
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)
What is a solid substance that has both shape and volume?
any solid has both shape and volume
What is the state of matter in which a material has a definite shape and definite volume?
A solid has a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Which of these has no definite volume gas liquid matter solid?
Gas has an indefinite shape or volume. Liquid has a fixed shape and volume. Solid has a fixed shape and volume.
