Half fill a graduated glass beaker with water and note the level. Place irregularly shaped object into the beaker. Note the new level. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the object.
cw: OK, that method works for objects that don't get wet -- like steel. Tissue paper would not be a good candidate. Also, if the object floats, you have to submerge the object.

What is formula for calculating an object's density?
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
What do you call the procedure that helps you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using a graduated cylinder?
It is the 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
What is volume displacement?
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. The difference between the before and after levels of the liquid is the volume of an immersed object.
What is volume by displacement?
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. For a small object immersed in a graduated cylinder or beaker, the volume displaced by the object can be read directly from the scale on the container.
What is the name of the method by which the volume of an irregularly shaped object is found?
the water displacement method
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
What is formula for calculating an object's density?
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
What do you call the procedure that helps you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using a graduated cylinder?
It is the displacement method.
Is there a more systematic way of finding the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object?
Finding the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object can be done using the plumb line method.
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.
How do you describe the procedure for determining the volume of an irregularly shaped object when using water and a graduated cylinder?
Volume displacement.
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.
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
What is volume displacement?
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. The difference between the before and after levels of the liquid is the volume of an immersed object.
Will the second method for determining volume work for any object or just an irregularly shaped one?
It depends on what the second method is!
How do you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object that floats?
You can push it under water / under the liquid's surface, and measure the displacement of liquid.
