First pour water into the can until it overflows and drains. Next place an object into the overflow can, being careful not to spill. Place a beaker under the overflow can to collect the water that is displaced by the object. Record the volume in millimeters of the displaced water. This is the volume of the object.
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.
To find the volume of an irregular shape, you need to use the water displacement method. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, fill the cylinder with enough water to adequately cover the object, but don't put the object inside the cylinder yet. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. Carefully drop the object into the cylinder. This will cause a rise in the water in the cylinder. Record this second volume. Subtract the first volume from the second volume, and the difference is the volume of the irregular object. For larger objects, use an overflow can.
The answer depends on what information you do have about the object.
The volume of a rectangle is 0. It is a 2-dimensional object and so has no volume.
The measure, in cubic centimetres IS the 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.
Overflow can measure the volume of an object that is fully submerged.
by applying archemedes priciples, volume of the water displaced is equal to the voulume of the irregular object , measured by using a mesuring jar
Fill a container with water. Carefull put the object into the container and collect the overflow of water. Measure the water displaced See "Eureka"
First find the mass of the object. You need to find the volume of the irregular object. You do this by water displacement. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, you fill the cylinder with enough water to completely cover the object. DO NOT put the object in yet. Record that volume. Then gently place the object into the cylinder and record the new volume of water. The difference between the first and second volume is the volume of the object in mL, which is the same as cm3. If the object is too big to fit in a graduated cylinder, you can use an overflow can. You fill the can completely with water. The can has a downspout that will allow the water to flow out of the can. To do this, fill an overflow can completely with water. Allow the excess water to drain out of the downspout. Then place a beaker under the downspout. Gently put the object into the overflow can and catch the water that flows out in the beaker. Pour the water into a graduated cylinder and read the volume. This is the volume of the irregular solid. You can also hold a graduated cylinder under the downspout and let the water flow into the cylinder directly. The volume in the cylinder is the volume of the irregular object. Once you have the volume of the irregular solid, you can use the density formula to find density. Density = mass/volume. See the related links below.

You can find the mass of the object by multiplying volume and density.
To find the volume of an object you must multiply the height by the width by the length. Expression:(HxWxL=Volume)
You need the object's volume and the object's mass to find the object's density. Then, you divide the object's mass by it's volume. The formula for density is d = density m = mass v = volume
overflow can is a container used for holding water during water displacement activity,and it is used for measuring a volume of a object (usually a irregular shape one) by putting it in the the water
You have to find out its mass, and its volume. Then you divide its mass by its volume.
Take an amount of water of which you know the volume. Drop the object in the water. Find the difference
