You can measure the volume of an object. By putting some water in a container with graduation marks, taking a measurement of the volume of water, then placing the object in the water so that it is totally submerged in the water, then measuring the new volume level. The difference between the new volume and original volume will be the amount of water that the object displaces (or the object's volume).

What physical property can be measured using the water displacement method?
volume
What method of measurement is used to find the volume of an irregular solid?
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
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 year did the water displacement method get invented?
1796
What can be measured using water displacement?
Measuring to see if something is level.
What physical property can be measured using the water displacement method?
volume
Why is displacement of water an example of an indirect measurement?
Water displacement is a method to measure volume
What general property of matter is illustrated when the volume of the stone is measured by water displacement method?
volume

Volume can be measured by ------------ of water?
Displacement.
Is there a material that cannot be measured by the displacement method?
Yes, black hole matter cannot b/c it would consume the water
Why will there be a great error if the water displacement method is used to to determine the volume of rice grains?
because the rice grains will absorb some of the water, which will then not be measured on the depth scale.
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
Why do you need to use the water displacement method for some objects and not others?
Because some objects have an irregular shape, therefore cannot be measured like a square could.

How can you tell the mass of the water displaced?
use the water displacement method.
