If you found a rock and you want to measure its volume what would you do to measure the rock volume?
Use water displacement. Measure water before you put the rock in it, and then again afterwards.
Put a measuring cup large enough to hold the rock in a pot large enough to hold the measuring cup and fill the measuring cup to the very top with water. Lower the rock into the measuring cup carefully so that the water flows over and into the pot. Carefully remove the measuring cup with the rock without spilling any additional water into the pot. When you measure the water in the pot it will equal to the volume of the rock (accuracy will depend on how careful you were). This is displacement measuring.

What would you do to determine the volume of a rock?
You would determine the volume of water it displaces and measure it.
How would you find the volume of an irregular shaped object like a rock?
You would measure the length width and heighth. Then you would multiply them all together. <><><> A better means would be to have a container that the rock will fit in, and fill it full of water. Place the rock in the container, which will overflow. Then remove the rock, and measure the volume of water you have to pour into the container to make it full again. The volume of the water will equal the volume that was displaced by the rock.
How would you determine the density of an irregular shaped rock?
Not always easy. Since density is defined as the mass of a unit volume of material,you would measure the volume of the rock by putting it into a container half filled with water and then measure the volume change.
How the volume of a rock can be found?
Rocks, if they have not been carved, generally have an irregular shape. It would therefore not be practical to try to measure their dimensions and perform geometrical calculations to get the volume. Instead, you can place the rock inside a graduated cylinder that has water in it, and observe how much water is displaced. That will equal the volume of the rock. Of course, if the rock is very large, you would have difficulty getting a graduated cylinder that is large enough, but if it was really necessary to learn the volume of the rock, you could custom build a container that would serve as an extra large graduated cylinder.
How can the volume of a irregularly shaped rock be measured?
One way would be to get a container into which you could put the rock completely, fill it to the brim with water (without the rock in it), then put the rock in and measure the volume of the water that flowed out.
What unit of measure would you use for the volume of a rock?
Any cubed unit depending on how big the rock is
Why is the graduated cylinder used instead of a ruler to measure the volume of a rock?
Because most rocks are not made up of common geometric shapes, it would be difficult or impossible to find the volume of a rock using a ruler; there would be no easy way to measure the rock's irregular volume. However, by measuring the volume of liquid a rock displaces, its volume can easily be determined.
How would you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as rock?
You can find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, like a rock, by using the water displacement method. Submerge the object in a known volume of water in a container. Measure the increase in water level, which equals the volume of the rock.
How do you get the volume of rock?
To calculate the volume of a rock, you can use the formula for the volume of a sphere (4/3 * pi * r^3) if the rock is spherical, or use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism (length * width * height) if the rock has a more regular shape. Otherwise, you can measure the volume by water displacement: submerge the rock in water and measure the increase in water level to find its volume.
Best way to measure the vplume of irregularly sharpe rock?
To measure the volume of irregularly shaped rocks, you can use the water displacement method. Submerge the rock in a container of water and measure the change in water volume as the rock displaces the water. The difference in water volume before and after submerging the rock will give you the volume of the rock.
How do you measure a irregular solid?
You use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the rock with the water and the water without the rock
How can you measure volume of the rock?
it is easiest to do with small rocks, but can be dome with anything if you can move it and have a container large enough to hold it. place water into a container with measurment markings and place the rock into it. the amount the water level rises, called displacement, is the volume of the rock.
