I believe Archimedes came up with this...
Fill a beaker or glass to the brim with water.
Place the beaker in a bath, bowl or similar.
Gently place the rock into the glass of water, allow the liquid to overflow into the bowl.
The water displaced by the rock (which is now in the bowl and you can measure the volume of) is the volume of the rock.
Hope this helps!

What is the method to determine the volume of a very small material?
A triple integral should suffice to locate the volume. Provided you can determine a equation to bound the surface.
Elaborate on what the nuclear model of the atom indicates about the volume in the atom.?
The nuclear model of the atom suggests that an atom is mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus at the center. The volume of an atom is therefore primarily occupied by this empty space, with the nucleus accounting for a very small portion of the total volume.
How do you determine the volume of a small sphere using screw gauge?

What two items are best to use to determine the combined volume of three small rocks?
You can use a graduated cylinder or a measuring cup filled with water to determine the combined volume of three small rocks. Simply measure the initial water level, then add the rocks and measure the new water level for the volume displaced, which represents the combined volume of the rocks.
What could you measure using a measuring cylinder?
Volume of liquids. You could also use it to measure the volume of small solids using the displacement-of-fluid method.
Which instrument could be used to determine the volume of an irregulary shaped soild?
A graduated cylinder may be used for small objects that are insoluble in a selected liquid. But that method would not work for determining the volume of a sugar cube (soluble in water) or a motor car (won't fit in a graduated cylinder!).
Is Most of the volume occupied by a piece of copper is taken up by the copper nuclei true or false?
False. Most of the volume occupied by a piece of copper is taken up by the electrons moving around the copper nuclei. The size of the atomic nuclei is very small compared to the overall size of the atom.
Does volume determine whether an object floats or sinks?
Not at all. A small pebble and a giant boulder both sink, but a small feather and a giant battleship both float.
How many small cubes are needed to completely fill the right rectangular prism?
To determine how many small cubes are needed to fill a right rectangular prism, you first need to calculate the volume of the prism by multiplying its length, width, and height. Then, calculate the volume of one small cube by cubing its side length. Finally, divide the volume of the prism by the volume of the small cube to find the total number of cubes required.
Small round bump on cervix what could it be?
The best way to determine that answer is to see your doctor.
Is most of an atom's volume is filled with matter?
No, most of an atom's volume is actually empty space. The nucleus of an atom, which contains the protons and neutrons, makes up a very small portion of the total volume. The rest of the space is occupied by the electrons, which move around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
What object has an volume of 5 ml?
An object that has a volume of 5 ml could be a teaspoon of liquid medicine, a small sample vial, or a perfume sample.
