How do you find the volume of an irregular object which floats?
If you push it down, you can measure the volume of the displaced liquid.
How do you find the mass of an irregular object?
you use the water displacement test. the mass of the displaced water is equal to the mass of the object. because the density of water is one, this means that the volume of the water is equal to the mass of the object * * * * * That is only true if the body floats. Two blocks of different metals, but of the same size will displace the same volume of water. Their masses will not be the same.
How can you find the volume of an object using water?
Water Displacement
How would you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that floats?
If the object is small enough to place into a graduated container, note the level of the water and then totally immerse the object (being careful that no air bubbles remain under it) by pushing it just below the surface. Note the difference in the water level, and calculate the volume by multiplying the difference in water level times the area of the graduated container.
How do you use an overflow container to find an object volume?
To find the volume of an object, we use an overflow cylinder as it gives a measure of the volume of the object by displacing an equal amount of water into the beaker.
Why can't we measure the volume of an object if it floats on water?
Simply because the volume of water displaced is not equal to the actual volume of the object. If an object is lighter than water, you have to find another method of determining its volume. ------------------------------------ alternatively you could use a very thin pin to push the object under the water. However, the volume of the submerged portion of the pin would need to be suvtracted from the volume of the object measured.
If an object floats the volume of displaced water is equal to the volume of what?
Look at the LAST WORD of the question, they switch it sometimes if it is: Underwater than it is TRUE, If it's Surface of the water than it is FALSE ~
How do you find the volume of an irregular object which floats?
If you push it down, you can measure the volume of the displaced liquid.
How do you find density of an object in water?
If the object floats it is less dense than water, if it submerges it is denser than water.

What 2 ways can you find the volume of a solid object?
multiply it Length- Width - Height , or measure the volume of a container of water then stick the object in and measure the volume of the object+water then subtract the volume of the water then you have the volume
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.
How do you find density of object that floats?
Well you Find the density by doing Mass/Volume. If The objects density is less than 1 it will float
How can you find the volume of an object using water?
Water Displacement
What is the process scientist use to find the volume of an irregular object?
Displacement is the process used to find the volume of an irregular object. This is done by submerging the object in water and measuring either the height the water rises or the volume of water that overflows the container.
Explain why the metgod of displacement is used to find volume?
The basic way is you take the volume of the water before you put the object in the water, then you measure the volume of the water and object.
