Submerge it in water and measure the amount of displaced water. That will be your displacement for the object, and will represent its volume.
Alternatively, if all faces of the object are flat, you could turn it into a geometry problem. If there are curved surfaces or surfaces resembling bubbles or bulges, and you know or can determine the equations that govern these surfaces, you can solve the problem with calculus.

∙ 9y agoAnswer: Use a method called water displacement. Put the object in a measured amount of water and measure how much the water rises on a graduated cylinder. The difference is the volume of the object.

∙ 13y agoGenerally speaking, you would first find the area of the base and then multiply that area by the height.
So, for a box for instance, you would find the area of the base by multiplying the depth by the width and then multiplying that answer by the height

Irregular shaped objects need to use the water displacement method
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIn the physical world? Submerge it in water.
In math? Break it up into regularly shaped objects, calculate their volumes, add the results.

How do you find the volume of a cube shaped object?
The answer depends on what information you do have about the object.
How wold you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Take an amount of water of which you know the volume. Drop the object in the water. Find the difference
When is displacement used?
It is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. An object dropped into a volume of water will displace an equal volume of water.
List the steps to find the density of a regularly shaped object?
Use the triple beam balance to find
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
What is the name for the method of using the displacements of water to find the volume of a strange shaped object?
Displacement method.... Is the method to find volume of an irregular object
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 technique is best used to find the volume of an irregular-shaped object?
Make a mold of the object and then fill the mold with water and measure the volume of the water.
How do you find the volume of a regular shaped object?
lenght x weight x height
What is the method called when you want to find the volume of an irregular shaped object?
water displacement
How do we find the mass and volume of objects?
you can find the mass of an object using a triple beam balance or digital scale. you can find volume of a regularly shaped object by measuring it and using a formula to find the number of cubic units, or you can use the displacement method, in which you fill a container to the brim with water, place the object in, capture all the water, and measure it. since 1 ml is equal to 1 cubic centimeter, it isn't hard to convert to solid volume.
How do you find the volume of large irregular shape object?
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
