How do you find out a volume for a irregular cube?
A cube is, by definition, regular. Do you mean a cuboid? The volume of a cuboid is length × width × height or length × width × depth (where depth and height are the length in the third dimension). For irregular three dimensional shapes, divide them up into smaller shapes for which the volume can be calculated and add them together. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For real world irregular three dimensional object it is impractical to try to split the object up into smaller shapes. In this case get a cuboid of water (or other liquid) in a tank, measure its volume (as above), submerge the object completely in the liquid and re-measure the volume of the liquid (the tank should have excess capacity greater than the volume of the object so that no liquid spills): the volume of the object is the difference between the two measurements of the volume of liquid.
What piece of equipment is used to find the volume of a liquid?
A Graduated Cylinder
What is the best piece of laboratory equipment to measure a 350 ml water?
A graduated cylinder would be the best piece of laboratory equipment to measure a 350 ml of water. It is designed with volume markings and is specifically used for accurate measurements of liquids.
How do you calculate volume for irregular objects?
How to calculate the volume for an irregular shape? Well, this is easy. First let me tell you the materials you need for this experiment.1. Displacement can2. Tripod Stand3. A Beaker4. A measuring cylinder5. A thread6. Water7. You irregular objectSteps:Place your displacement can on your tripod standPlace your beaker right below the spout of your displacement canfill the displacement can to its brimlet the water flow out of the spout into the beakerwhen it has stopped, replace your beaker with a measuring cylindertie your irregular object to your piece of thread, make sure it is tightslowly lower your irregular object into the displacement canyou will see water flowing out of the spout while you do thatafter your irregular object is at the bottom of the displacement can, read your measuring cylinder at eye levelExtraIf you see an round curve when you are reading the measurementread the lower line at eye levelYou have found the volume of your irregular object! Congratulations.
What piece of scientific equipment is used to measure the volume of a cube regular shaped?
The answer depends on the size of the cube: it could be a micrometre, vernier callipers, a ruler, a tape measure.

A Graduated Cylinder
What lab equipment would you need to measure the density of a piece of metal?
To obtain the density you need to know the mass, and the volume of the object.So you'd have to weigh it using a balance to obtain the mass.The easiest way to measure the volume (particularly if it's an irregular shape) would be via the displacement of water.density = mass / volume
Which piece of lab equipment is the BEST way to measure liquid volume?
Graduated cylinder
What piece of lab equipment should be used to find the volume of a small stone?
A graduated cylinder
How would you determine the density of an irregular shaped piece of maple ( about 10 grams)?
Weigh the piece of maple (you've indicated it is about 10 grams) Completely submerge it in a liquid and measure the volume of liquid displaced Density = mass/(volume displaced) or about 10g/(volume displaced)
What pieces of lab equipment measure volume?
There are three ways to measure volume. If you are measuring a liquid, you need a graduated cyliner. If you are measuring the volume of a regular solid, you need a ruler to measure length, width, and height. You would then use the formula V=LxWxH. The third way to measure volume is to use displacement to find the volume of an irregular solid. You would put a certain amount of water in a graduated cylinder, write the starting amount down. Add the irregular solid to the graduated cylinder. Record the ending amount of liquid and subtract the ending amount minus the starting amount.
How can you find the density of an irregular object?
You still need to divide mass by volume. The problem here is finding the volume. In some cases you can submerge the object in a liquid, and see how much liquid it displaces. You can also calculate its volume mathematically, using integration. This basically means dividing it into small pieces (not the real object, only in the calculations), for example shapes that approximate rectangular blocks, calculate the volume of each piece, and add everything up.

How do you calculate the density of a polyurethane foam?
Density is weight divided by volume. Measure the weight (with a scale), calculate the volume (which is easy to do if the foam is rectangular in shape - you might even want to cut out a rectangular piece, if your foam has an irregular shape), and divide the weight by the volume.
