A beaker, flask, or graduated cylinder. You have to put water in the container, record the volume, then place the object in the container and calculate how much the volume of the water raised.

∙ 12y agoDepends on the size of the object. One method (if the object is small) is to first fill a precisely graduated container (showing volume) with liquid that the object does not dissolve or have a chemical reaction and which will submerge in the liquid completely (it must be heavier than the liquid, density-wise). Note the reading of the top of the liquid, that's the volume of liquid alone. Now slowly immerse the object and note the new reading on the graduated container. The difference is the volume of the object.
If you can weigh the object and know its density then V=(M/D) where V is volume, M is mass and D is density.

How do you find the volume of large irregular shape object?
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
How do you we measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
Why would you measure volume by immersion?
For an irregular shaped object that cannot be measured and then volume calculated with a formula.
Method used to figure the volume of an irregular shaped object?
method usede to figure the volume of an irregular shaped object
What is the name of the process used to measure the volume of an irregular shaped object?
There are several methods of measuring an irregular shape's volume.Filling it with a known volume of a substance until full.Summing up the Mathematical calculation of sections.
How would you fond the volume of an irregular shaped object that floats?
If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced water.
How do you get the volume of irregular shaped object?
by measuring the object
How do you find the density of an irregular shaped object that sinks?
Measure the volume of the object which is same as the volume of the displaced liquid in which that sinks. And measure the mass of the same object from a weighing machine. then use density = mass/volume
What technique is best used to find the volume of an irregular-shaped object?
Make a mold of the object and then fill the mold with water and measure the volume of the water.
What can you determine from an irregular shaped object by its displacement?
The volume of the object.
Can you use a balance to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid?
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
The unit of measure for volume of an irregular shaped object?
1. fill the container with water (make sure you write down what you filled it to) 2. Place object into the container 3. Calulate how much the water rose 4. Find the difference of the two numbers (that will be you volume of the irregular shaped object) 5. All finished!!!
