First 'weigh" the ojbect on a scale. this gives the mass.
2nd use the water displacement method to find the volume.
Then divide Density = mass / volume.
It is a method called displacement. Displacement is a method that many scientists use. First you put a certain amount of water in a container (test tube, beaker). Second you Measure how many milliliters of water you put into it. Next you Add your irregular object into the water. Then you measure how many milliliters the water level rose. Then you subtract your second measurement with the irregular shaped object in it by your first measurement without the object in it and it will give you the volume of your irregular shape object.
Find the density and mass of the object d=m/v and plug in your numbers and solve for volume
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 shape of an object is not enough to calculate its density. You also need its mass and then Density = Mass/Volume.
Any regular shape,like a cube or sphere, can be described mathematically and its volume can be calculated easily. An irregular shape, such as a rock can be mesured by displacment of water, or by scanning it in three dimensions.If the object's density is known, it need only be weighed. volume is a amount of mater space takes up TY! PEOPLE!
"displacement volume"
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)regardless of the substance, or the shape of the sample.
Measure the displacement of water when the object is submerged in water. This gives the volume ; then weigh the object and divide the weight by the volume to get the density.

by applying archemedes priciples, volume of the water displaced is equal to the voulume of the irregular object , measured by using a mesuring jar
Volume of irregular or regular shape object is the space reserved by the object in any medium.

No. Density is an intensive property.
