Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a rectangular object as well as an irregularly shaped object?

Yes. It doesnt have to be a irregular even though sometimes it is easier just to do the math... for a rectangular object. l x w x h= volume

You can push it under water / under the liquid's surface, and measure the displacement of liquid.

How do you use the displacement method to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?

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 piece of lab equipment would you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
